This is the discography of British pop group S Club. The group went on to release 14 singles, 4 studio albums and 3 compilation albums throughout their career. The group formed in 1998 and rose to prominence starring in their own musical-comedy BBC television series, Miami 7 (1999); in North America, the show was titled S Club 7 in Miami and ran for four seasons on Nickelodeon and Fox Family. The show is widely thought to have inspired a generation of teenage TV musicals, including High School Musical and Glee . Over the five years they were together, S Club had four UK number-one singles, one UK number-one album, a string of hits throughout Europe, including a top ten single in the United States, Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and went on to sell over 10 million albums worldwide. [1] Their first album, S Club , had a strong 1990s pop sound, similar to many artists of their time. However, through the course of their career, their musical approach changed to a more dance and R&B sound which is heard mostly in their final album, Seeing Double .

The concept and branding of the original S Club 7 is credited to Simon Fuller—the man who auditioned the Spice Girls—who was their manager through 19 Entertainment. S Club were signed to Polydor Records, and won two BRIT Awards (2000) for British Breakthrough Act and for Best British Single (2002). In 2001, the group earned the Record of the Year award. Group member Paul Cattermole departed the group in 2002, citing "creative differences", and the group changed its name from S Club 7 to simply S Club. Their second to last single reached number-five on the UK charts, but their final studio album failed to make the top ten. After Cattermole's departure, the group fought-against many rumours presuming that they were about to split. [2] [3] However, on 21 April 2003, during a live onstage performance, S Club announced that they were intending to disband. [4]

On 26 July 2023, for the first time in 20 years, S Club released new material in the form of a single, titled "These Are the Days", in memory of Cattermole—who unexpectedly died in April 2023.

American rapper Macklemore has released three studio albums and two mixtapes as a solo artist.
