Ten Good Reasons is the debut album by Australian pop star and actor Jason Donovan. Released in 1989, it became the biggest selling album in the UK that year, and yielded two solo #1 singles ("Too Many Broken Hearts" and "Sealed with a Kiss") and also featured a duet with Kylie Minogue, "Especially for You", which had reached #1 in January 1989.
The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number two, and then reached number one, staying there for four weeks. When his cover of Brian Hyland's "Sealed With a Kiss" entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, Donovan became the first Australian male to ever hold both UK single and UK album chart number one positions simultaneously.
In Australia, the album peaked at #5 on its debut on the ARIA albums chart in June 1989, and became the 53rd highest selling album in Australia for 1989.
The title of the album is taken from a line in its first track: "You give me one good reason to leave me, I'll give you ten good reasons to stay."
