7 Hits from a Single Album...

A successful album from the 80s might have one or two Top 10 hit singles on it -- even three or four hits in some cases.  But in two instances, an album managed a whopping 7 Top 10 songs!  Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' album and Bruce Springsteen's 'Born In The U.S.A.' each dropped 7 separate songs in the Top 10.  As a result, each album spent a lot of time at #1 on the Billboard Albums chart -- 37 weeks for 'Thriller' (most all-time!) and 7 for 'Born In The U.S.A'.
