the Electrik Red album, much as I love it, is kinda frontloaded -- i listened to it on shuffle so often that it took me a while to realize that my 5 favorite songs are tracks 1-5.
Ted Leo has a tendency to frontload his albums, the best stuff is almost always in the first five tracks

i feel like the '90s was the peak of deliberate label-mandated frontloading -- so many albums where the first single is track 1, second single is track 2, third single is track 3, etc. (Soul Asylum's Grave Dancers Union comes to mind)

Most They Might Be Giants albums

Probably lots of 60's Motown albums.
