I was sure I'd heard it before too, and then remembered where.

Hmm. That's not always true. Going back to my previous example,
Orbital have had 3 top 5 albums in a row. At no point were any of the
singles from the albums particularly high in the charts - 11 and 17
being the highest placings. Album sales don't equate to single sales -
take Dido, for instance.
