best *2nd album
by paladisiac

Who best avoided that sophomore slump (imo) ?? Who took that giant leap?

This is a chart of each artist's best SECOND (full length) album. Greatest hits albums, mixtapes, holiday albums, compilations, posthumous releases (w/no artist input), remix albums, EPs, highly-limited releases and live albums will NOT be counted (with very few exceptions) as a second album. (All-covers albums are allowed since a lot of 50s/60s albums were that way.) 2017 entries currently not included.
