Ever since the release of American Fool in 1982,
John Mellencamp has maintained a consistent
hold on the charts while his fans have remained
loyally steadfast. In addition to his 36 gold, platinum,
and multi-platinum awards from 1982-97,
Mellencamp has been nominated for 11 Grammys
(in 1982, '84, '85, '86, '87, '88, '91, '94, '96,
and '97). John's unflagging hold on the charts
is equally impressive. In the past two decades,
beginning with the chart entry of John Cougar
in August 1979, Mellencamp has racked up 10
Top 10 singles, 29 Top 40 singles, 7 Top 10 albums,
and 11 Top 40 albums.
