After debuting in 1992 with the EPs Mondo Akimbo a-Go-Go and Don't Be Happy... Just Worry , the Wildhearts released their full-length debut Earth vs the Wildhearts in 1993 on East West and Bronze Records, reaching number 46 on the UK Albums Chart. [1] The album was reissued in 1994 with the addition of "Caffeine Bomb", the band's first UK Singles Chart top 40 release. [1] The next year saw the group break the top 20 on both charts for the first time, with the release of P.H.U.Q. and lead single "I Wanna Go Where the People Go", which charted at number 6 and 16 on their respective charts. [1] Fishing for Luckies , which originally received a limited release in 1994, was reissued in 1996 and reached number 16 on the UK Albums Chart, with lead single "Sick of Drugs" reaching number 14. [1]

The Wildhearts released Endless, Nameless on Mushroom Records in 1997, which peaked at number 46 in the UK; both singles from the album made the top 30 of the UK Singles Chart. [1] The band subsequently went on hiatus, before returning in 2003 with Gut Records release The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed , which charted at number 54 in the UK and number 38 in Japan – their only release to break the country's albums chart top 40. [1] [2] The same year, the group reached the UK Singles Chart top 20 for the third and final time with "Stormy in the North, Karma in the South". [1] In 2007, the Wildhearts issued their self-titled sixth studio album on Round Records, which peaked at number 55 on the UK Albums Chart. [1] The 2008 follow-up Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1. , an album of cover versions, failed to register on the main UK chart but reached the top 20 of both the UK Independent Albums and the UK Rock & Metal Albums Charts. [1]

2009 saw the band release eighth album ¡Chutzpah! on Backstage Alliance, which charted in the UK at number 53 and topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. [1] The Wildhearts did not release another album until ten years later, when 2019's Renaissance Men peaked at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart – the band's highest position since 1995. [1] Diagnosis , an EP/mini album issued later that year, reached number 25. [1] 21st Century Love Songs , released in 2021, gave the group their second UK top 10 album when it peaked at number 9. [1] All three aforementioned releases reached the top ten in Scotland, with 21st Century Love Songs peaking at number 2. [1]
