This week we are joined by Alex Ludovico, Sam Hoyas and Steel Tipped Dove to explore a bit of an abstract idea. The idea being this - MTV ushered in a era where albums needed to have 3 huge hit videos and we take this idea of albums with at least 3 banging hits and try to find out which one is the best. Exploring regions for the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s we come up with an answer!
