## Summary

The article traces how a handful of albums have produced unusually large runs of top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, showing how artists can sustain chart success across a release. Michael Jackson’s *Thriller* set the early benchmark, while later albums raised the record as streaming made it possible for several tracks to chart strongly at once.

*Thriller* was the first album to yield five top 10s and reached seven, a mark later matched by Bruce Springsteen’s *Born in the U.S.A.*, Janet Jackson’s *Rhythm Nation 1814* and Drake’s *Scorpion*. Drake’s *Certified Lover Boy* reached nine in 2021; Taylor Swift’s *Midnights* set a new record with 10 in 2022, a total she repeated on two later albums, while Drake’s *ICEMAN* also reached double figures in 2026. Drake has the most albums represented in the rundown, with four.
