Prince, Bruce, Lionel, Cyndi, Tina and the last 3 are pretty much tied.Jeez, this is one year the Grammy's actually got something right. Interesting, all these were each artists biggest selling albums.

"Stuck On You" crossed over to the country chart; "Sail On" didn't.)
My Joel Whitburn tells me that someone by the name of Tom Grant had a #16 hit with "Sail On" in 1979 on the Country charts.

I think Purple Rain is probably my least favorite of Prince's 80s albums (except for the Batman sdtrk, at least). So it's out.
The Bruce album has great singles, and "I'm on Fire" is one of my favorite songs of all time, but no.
Private Dancer is a really good record.
I've never heard Can't Slow Down outside of its singles (which is probably most of it, right?).
She's So Unusual is an album I still pull out and play all the time, or several times a year at least. It's so good the whole way through.
But yeah, this pool of nominees is REALLY strong.

I don't really get the point of calling Purple Rain worse than Lovesexy or Around the World in a Day, et al.

I'm not saying it's not good. Maybe I've just heard it 1000 times too many.

Lovesexy and Around the World in a Day are solid albums tho.
I second that Dirty Mind might be as good or better though...
