FROGGO 2,806 Posted November 21, 2015 Hi friends! I thought we could share our favourite mammoth single runs. Some album eras generate these massive campaigns with single after single on the charts, a new music video on rotation (shout out to those that remember music videos on TV), and even breaking and setting impressive records! This thread is a celebration of those impeccable album campaigns! The criteria: The singles run must comprise of at AT LEAST four singles. The artist/band can be from any genre, any decade. You can post as many album eras as you like, but you must have ONE album era per post. Likes will be used to see how many people are in agreement with you! Please don't post music videos, as this will make loading the site very slow for some. The artist/band must be "popular", so try to refrain from posting obscure indie artists please 4 Quote you're so art froggo, out on the pond… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FROGGO 2,806 Posted November 21, 2015 CHRISTINA AGUILERA - SELF TITLED (1999) I remember the Britney vs Christina debate like it was yesterday. My seven-year-old self was firmly in the Christina camp. She didn't have Britney's sugary-sweet Max Martin production, she wasn't a dancer (no matter how hard her label tried to make her one), and she didn't have the Lolita innocence on lock. She did, however, have that voice. The singles run of Genie in a Bottle, What a Girl Wants, I Turn to You, and Come on Over (All I want is You). Click on the single art to listen. Years later, I would decide to laminate my stan card for Britney... but my appreciation for this single run remains. Obviously some of the production elements sound dated, but on the whole, the production is impressive and fairs better than Britney's ...Baby One More Time. 2 Quote you're so art froggo, out on the pond… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueJeans 2,608 Posted November 21, 2015 The Emancipation of Mimi In 2001, after the terrible fiasco that was Glitter and the emotional breakdown that soon followed, Mariah Carey was dead and gone, for the press. Has been. Nothing but a faded dream. Old news. She took some time for herself and released "Charmbracelet", that received a mere lukewarm welcome. And then came 2005. It's Like That : Nothing sensational, chart wise, but to everyone's surprise, the song got airplay and ... Yes, people actually seemed to enjoy it ! Careless, and fun ... BOP "It's a special occasion/Mimi's Emancipation/A cause for celebration/I ain't gonna let nobody's drama bother me" We Belong Together : The song soon became a MONSTER hit. You simply couldn't escape a Radio Station playing it or a MV Channel spinning the video, it was omnipresent. 14 weeks spent to Number 1. Billboard baptized it Song of the decade (little known fact, MC had the song of the previous decade with "One Sweet Day", ft Boyz 2 Men, a song that spent 16 weeks atop the charts). Shake It Off : Shake It Off had to satisfy itself with the second position, well ... Because We Belong Together was still destroying lives everywhere ! Don't Forget About Us : Don't Forget About Us quickly became Mariah's 17th Number One. In the following era, E=MC2, "Touch My Body" earned her her 18th, tying her with Elvis Presley (also 18 number ones, I believe). Only the Beatles have more (21, If I'm not mistaken). Undisputedly one of the biggest and unexpected comebacks of the history of music, Mariah Carey managed, once again, to prove herself to the world (even though she doesn't need to, anymore ). 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intriguing Penguin 867 Posted November 22, 2015 This was so hard for me.. I was going to do a David Bowie one but the albums I was focusing on did not have the best songs as singles so... Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Power/Runaway/Monster/All of the Lights Who could forget the epic return of Kanye after much controversy? Many people wanted him to comeback and fail but he ended up making one of the best albums of the decade and in the history of rap/hip-hop. Many Kanye fans I know call this his best album. (For me it's Yeezus but he only released 2 singles from it soo...) 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRENCH 15,451 Posted November 23, 2015 18 Months is the third studio album by Calvin Harris. All eight of the aforementioned singles, along with "We Found Love" (featuring Rihanna), reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, making 18 Months the first album in history to spawn nine top-10 singles. This is Harris's first studio album where he does not regularly provide the vocals on his songs, instead producing the music and having guest singers sing for him, as Harris stated in November 2010 he would not be singing on his songs any more. (In which I like his voice). 2012 Out of 8 singles, here are my top 4 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
