The discography of Iron Maiden, an English heavy metal band founded in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, includes seventeen studio albums, as well as numerous live albums, compilations, EPs, singles, video albums, music videos, and box sets. After several personnel changes, they released their self-titled debut album in 1980 with vocalist Paul Di'Anno, guitarists Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton, and drummer Clive Burr, quickly becoming one of the leading proponents of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. [1]
Guitarist Adrian Smith replaced Stratton, and Killers was released in 1981. [2] Later that year, vocalist Bruce Dickinson replaced Paul Di'Anno, marking the beginning of a series of top-ten high-impact releases. [3] They issued The Number of the Beast , [4] becoming the band's first release to top the UK charts, and received a Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. [5] Drummer Nicko McBrain replaced Clive Burr, [6] and the band released Piece of Mind in 1983, followed by Powerslave (1984). [7] Iron Maiden broadened their sound with the use of guitar synthesisers in Somewhere in Time (1986). [8] Their following concept album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son , was released in 1988, and also topped the UK charts.
The line-up remained unchanged until Adrian Smith left the band during the pre-production stage of their last Gold-certified album in the US, No Prayer for the Dying (1990); he was replaced by Janick Gers. Their next UK No. 1 album, Fear of the Dark , was released in 1992, after which Dickinson left the band in the following year. [9] His replacement, Blaze Bayley, debuted in 1995 with The X Factor , an album that marked a decline in the band's career. [10] The diminished fan interest in 1998 with Virtual XI prompted Bayley's departure. [11]
Dickinson and Smith returned to the band in 1999, and a new album, Brave New World , was issued in 2000. Three years later, Dance of Death was released. [12] In 2006 they released A Matter of Life and Death , [13] which received, along with their two previous studio releases, a gold certification by the BPI. [14] In 2010, Iron Maiden issued The Final Frontier , which was positively received by critics, [15] and debuted at No. 1 in over twenty-eight countries, [16] including the United Kingdom. [17] Their sixteenth studio effort, The Book of Souls , was released on 4 September 2015 and became their fifth UK No. 1 album. [18] [19] Iron Maiden are considered one of the most influential and successful heavy metal bands in history, with The Sunday Times reporting in 2017 that the band have sold well over 100 million copies of their albums worldwide, [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] despite little radio or television support. [24] [25] [26] As of 2023 Iron Maiden have sold over 130 mln copies of their albums worldwide. [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] According to MD Daily Record all audio-visual catalogue of the band has sold in over 200 million copies worldwide, including regular albums, singles, VHS', DVDs and all compilations. [33] By 2022 their releases have been certified Silver, Gold and Platinum around 600 times worldwide. [34]

Slayer is an American thrash metal band formed in 1981 by guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, who recruited vocalist and bassist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo. Slayer's first two albums, Show No Mercy (1983) and Hell Awaits (1985), which were released on Metal Blade Records, did not chart in the United States. The band was then signed to Def Jam Recordings by Rick Rubin, who produced Reign in Blood (1986). The album helped Slayer break into the Billboard 200 for the first time, peaking at number 94. After South of Heaven (1988), Slayer signed to Rubin's new label, Def American, and released Seasons in the Abyss (1990). After the album was released, Lombardo departed Slayer and was replaced by Paul Bostaph.
Australian rock band AC/DC have released 18 studio albums, two soundtrack albums, three live albums, one extended play, 57 singles, 11 video albums, 52 music videos and two box sets. Although many AC/DC singles have been released, the band refused to issue any greatest hits albums. Who Made Who, which served as the soundtrack to Stephen King's film Maximum Overdrive, Iron Man 2 and the band's various live recordings are the closest they have issued to such a compilation.

It was released on 25 August 2006 in Italy and Finland and 28 August worldwide—excluding the US, Canada and Japan, where it was released on 5 September.

The discography of American heavy metal band Metallica includes 11 studio albums, eight live albums, three extended plays, 49 singles, 10 video albums, 43 music videos, one soundtrack album, one collaboration album and three box sets. They are a San Francisco-based metal band formed in 1981 by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich (drums). After several bassist and lead guitarist changes, the band settled on Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett, respectively. Metallica started playing locally, releasing their first widely circulated demo, No Life 'til Leather, in 1982. The demo caught the attention of Johny Zazula, who signed Metallica to Megaforce Records. The band released Kill 'Em All in 1983, and the following year they released Ride the Lightning. After Ride the Lightning was released, Metallica left Megaforce and signed to Elektra Records. In March 1986, the band released its third studio album, Master of Puppets, which was Metallica's first album to be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The band's final line-up before they officially disbanded in 2019 included the founders Alexi Laiho and Jaska Raatikainen (drums) along with Henkka Seppälä, Janne Wirman (keyboards) and Daniel Freyberg. Children of Bodom have released ten studio albums, two live albums, one compilation album, seven singles, two EPs and two split singles.

Bruce Dickinson, a British heavy metal singer, has released seven studio albums, two live albums, one compilation, ten singles, three video albums, fourteen music videos, and one box set. In 1979, after playing in local groups, Dickinson joined hard rock band Samson. He departed after two years to become Iron Maiden's lead vocalist. His debut with this band is considered a "masterpiece", which was followed with a series of top-ten releases. In 1989, while Iron Maiden were taking a year off, Dickinson and former Gillan guitarist, Janick Gers, composed a song for a film soundtrack. His solo debut, Tattooed Millionaire (1990), was an effort that favoured a hard rock/pop metal approach, different from what fans assumed would be an aggressive, Iron Maiden-like album. Four songs—the title track, "Dive! Dive! Dive!", "Born in '58", and a cover version of David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes"—were released as singles. Dickinson returned to Iron Maiden, accompanied by Gers as the new guitarist, and the project went on hiatus. Dive! Dive! Live! was a live video recorded from a concert in Los Angeles, California, in August 1990, and released in July 1991.
