There were some examples of this prior to "The Reflex" in 1984.
I'm sure there are others, but these immediately come to mind... I've Gotta Get A Message To You - Bee Gees Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf The three hit singles from the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album. Two Tickets To Paradise - Eddie Money Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar |

I always assumed it was to get people to buy the single when they already owned the album, in order to boost the song's ranking on the Hot 100. Edited by Brian W. - 56 minutes ago at 11:48am |
