She's not the only one and especially with 2010's released albums.

Eminem: Recovery/ 157 weeks, #105
Bruno Mars: D&H/ 158 weeks, #126

And correct if I am wrong but wasn't her last 8th single released at May last year. TD's promotion lasted for more than two years, she released a new single every three months.

She can still release Hummingbird Heartbeat and have it be a hit.
