List of longest gaps between studio albums

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.

To appear on the list, the album must have been officially released at least a decade (to the day) after their predecessor. This list should only contain studio albums; it should not include extended plays, soundtracks, remixes, releases from various artists and compilations or greatest hits albums.
