Answer: Timeless (The Classics)

This album topped the charts for one week on November 21, 1992. Michael Bolton is best known for cover songs, so why not do an entire album of covers?

Answer: Daydream

The self titled "Mariah Carey" was, of course, her first album. "Music Box" was her second chart-topper(4th overall), and "Dreamlover" was a single from "Music Box". Both "Daydream" and the song "Fantasy" debuted at the top of Billboard's charts, a first for any artist.

"No Jacket Required" was Mr. Collins first chart-topping album. It spent seven weeks at number one in 1985. "Another Day in Paradise" was a single from "...But Seriously", which raised awareness of the homeless. Finally, "Buster" was a movie and soundtrack, released in 1988, both of which featured Phil.

Answer: Step by Step

"Step by Step" spent one week on top- June 30, 1990. "Hangin' Tough" was New Kids first Billboard number one, which included the track "Please Don't Go Girl". "Tonight" was the second single off "Step by Step" and was the group's ninth consecutive Top 10 single, previously only accomplished by the Beatles. Oddly enough, "Step by Step" was the lone number one in a 38 week span that was not M.C. Hammer(21) or Vanilla Ice(16).

Answer: The Division Bell

While "The Dark Side of the Moon" was the band's first chart-topper, "The Division Bell" was their first to debut at the pole position. "Dark Side" spent an amazing 741 weeks on the album chart (that's over 14 years), beginning in 1973. Other Pink Floyd albums to hit the top: "Wish You Were Here"(1975), "The Wall"(1980), and "Pulse"(1995). "Pulse" was a double album of "Dark Side" material recorded during "The Division Bell" tour.

Answer: Ropin' the Wind

While "No Fences" ruled the Top Country Album chart for 41 weeks, it never topped the Billboard 200. "The Chase" was the 1992 follow up to "Ropin' the Wind", and it was recorded during personal and professional turmoil. September 18, 1993 is when "In Pieces" became Garth's third number one. Garth Brooks' success marked the dawn of country music as mainstream in the United States.

Answer: Doggystyle

Of course, it was "Doggystyle". The first debut album to enter the Billboard chart at number one. The anticipation for this album began on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", which introduced Snoop to the world. "Tha Doggfather" was Snoop's follow up, sans Dr. Dre, and "Murder Was the Case" was a 1994 chart-topping soundtrack based on a "Doggystyle" track of the same name.
