It is important to note that this list contains artists who reached the top 40 of the American pop chart (Hot 100) with just one single. Additionally, an artist with three or more albums with a rank of 1 to 40 inclusive on the Billboard 200 may be taken off of this chart.
*** Not sure who put this together but I found it on an old hard drive recently and thought it worthy of a look. (JF)***
