Can anybody else match that output?
As tommyrot notes, that was common practice in the 60s. Hell, Dylan put out Bringing it All Back Home, Highway 66 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde in 18 months.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think Gandalfe means match that ouput and that chart success.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Yeah. :)
And, I have no stake in it at all, I'm just curious.

I'm sure Beatles would match that. Let me check.
eta: Yup. Between '65 - '69 the Beatles put out 9 albums (Help through Abbey Road). All of them top ten (at least). That includes the double White album.

Ann, that's a ferret.

However, most artists' albums then (the Beatles and Dylan being among the exceptions) would consist of one or two singles, plus filler consisting mostly of covers of recent hits by other people. It wasn't until the '70s that the album really became the norm in pop music.

I can't even.
Elton also had 18 top ten singles from 71-76.

'Strooth. One of the main reasons why there are so many 70s albums covered in Lost In The Grooves.

That's six years. Undeniably Elton was the major commercial force in pop during the early 70s, but nobody's going to out-poll the Beatles on these kinds of numbers. Their dominance is the standard.

ITA. The Beatles are completely the standard, but Elton's popularity in the early 70s was pretty huge, and to achieve even a shadow of the the success of the Beatles is astonishing.

Not in the '70s. Elvis in the '50s and early '60s, maybe.
