This question is about : DONNA SUMMER! ....... always a great topic.....
Donna's successes in Great Britain and in the US are quite interesting and quite out of sync ........
Donna made onto the TOP TEN of the US Album charts three times.
She made it onto the TOP TEN of the UK album charts three times.
Now here's where it gets most interesting :
Her biggest albums in the UK were not the same as her biggest in the States.
These are six different albums ! :D :roll:
So.......
What three Donna Summer albums made the UK top TEN ??
What three DS albums made the US TOP TEN ??
???? :-?
*****
...... in which of these two locals would you expect her to break the TOP TEN first? .....
Chart Hit [Level 6]
I would go for;
For the UK;
Another place, another time (1989 album.) 2 top 10 hits included.
I remember yesterday (1977 album.) 2 top 10 hits, and 1 of them a 4 week no.1!!
For the US;
Bad girls, Live and more and the 3rd On the radio.
The first top 10 album was in the UK with 'I remember yesterday'.
Hope that's right!

Davicillo ----- because of your answer .....I became aware that I was relying on dated material . :( Using Donna's entire catalogue up to the present ... increased her TOP TEN British albums from a total of two to a total of three. This actually makes it even more interesting because this means she has had the same number (3) of TOP TEN albums in each region ,and yet it still remaiins the case that each of the three are different from the other region's three .
:D There are six different albums: three in the US , three in the UK
Your answer remains more right than wrong :
Correct : Your three albums that were TOP TEN in the US.
Incorrect: You have misidentified one of the three LPs to go TOP TEN in the UK : and there are still two to name .......

OK Shenkin
for outperforming the quizer ..... instead of a prize ..............you must instead surrender three of your most valued 12" ers! :P :P
My goof , it didn't occur to me that Donna would actually make the TOP TEN again in the US ...so I only checked the UK charts for later successes ... ... but you are absolutelty right she took "SHE WORKS WORD FOR THE MONEY " to # 9 in 1983 !!! :D Good job Shenkin !!! :D :D
( By the way for those of you that have bought into the myth that disco died on Dec. 31, 1979 ...... Donna Summer's "SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY " LP sold SIX MILLION COPIES in the US in 1983 . ....."ONCE UPON A TIME " ????? .........sold 1.3 million units. "LIVE AND MORE" ?? ..... 4 million ....
As your information also points out .... Donna didn't just take three of those albums into the TOP TEN .......she took them all the way to #1 ..........................way to go Donna !
Shenkin your correction kicks the story up a notch ..that makes it a total of seven different albums that DONNA SUMMER took into the UK and US album charts' TOP TEN's ... with not one of the same LPs doing so in both the regions .
