As of today, Gwen Stefani has scored her 6th top 40 (airplay) hit from Love.Angel.Music.Baby., "Crash." Whatever you think of Gwen, this is a remarkable feat. Her 6 releases from this album and their R&R Top 40 peaks:
1. What You Waiting For (#18)
2. Rich Girl (#4)
3. Hollaback Girl (#1, 6wks)
4. Cool (#10)
5. Luxurious (#10)
6. Crash (just entering the top 40)

A handful of artists have recently had 5 top 40 hits off one album, namely Kelly Clarkson and Usher. The last artist I'm aware of having 6 top 40 hits from one album was Janet Jackson, who had 6 top 40 hits (all top 10s actually) from Janet in 1993-1994. Along with her brother Michael, the Jacksons are notorious for squeezing as many singles as possible off their albums. Janet had 6 top 40 hits off of Control, and 8 off of Rhythm Nation 1814. Michael Jackson had 7 top 40 each off of Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous. Bruce Springsteen had 7 top 40 hits off of Born in the USA. George Michael had 6 top 40 hits off of Faith. That's all I'm aware of for the last 20 years or so. Post a comment if you can think of others (remember, this is only the airplay top 40, not the Billboard Hot 100, which can be differently, particularly after 1991).
