The Albums With the Most Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 Hits
Billboard ·
Below, Billboard celebrates the roster of artists who cemented their pop dominance by landing five or more top 10 hits from a single album.
As any artist knows, it’s a tough task to score a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 . The feat requires some blend of the following: a strong song, a charismatic artist, heightened promotion efforts, a devoted fan base; and, more recently, can be sparked by a viral live performance, meme or other stroke of luck. And that’s just to do it once . To stay at the top of the game demands a consistency that few artists ever achieve, but when artists lock onto that golden combination, they can accomplish a string of hits in rapid succession.
To celebrate those occasions, Billboard compiled a roll call of albums that cemented their pop dominance with the most top 10 Hot 100 hits, whether by extending an album’s commercial strength over several months through the methods listed above, or in recent years, capitalizing on streaming’s reshaping of the industry to stack several top 10s upon a big album’s arrival.
It should come as little surprise, then, that the first album to house five top 10s was Michael Jackson’s Thriller , the best-selling album of all time. At the time, Jackson set the benchmark of seven top 10s from one album – a feat later equaled by Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA (1984-85), Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989-91) and Drake’s Scorpion (2018). The record then quickly changed hands multiple times: Drake’s Certified Lover Boy scored nine top 10 successes in 2021, but was soon eclipsed by Taylor Swift’s 2022 album Midnights, which upped the record to 10. Swift repeated the double-digit domination with 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department and 2025’s The Life of a Showgirl, while Drake joined the club with 2026’s ICEMAN .
Check out our rundown of albums that have produced the most top 10 hits on the Hot 100. Drake owns the most projects on the list, with four different albums – while Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen are the only other acts with multiple appearances. The who’s-who covers a cross-section of genres, including pop, rock, R&B and hip-hop and includes superstars such as Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston and Katy Perry.
