I'd guess 2 from either Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Phil Collins or Whitney Houston.
It's probably someone daft like Joe Dolce though! |

Michael Jackson had both 2nd & 3rd with Bad and Thriller in that order.

Depends on if you count Bruce Springsteen as solo, or whether they counted The E Street Band in the workings. Born In The U.S.A sold an awful lot of copies and helped shift a lot of back stuff. Tunnel of Love sold pretty well too.
