The discography of British singer Cliff Richard, who made his professional debut in 1958, consists of forty-five studio albums (43 English, 2 German), seven soundtrack albums, eleven live albums, three stage show cast albums, fifteen mainstream compilation albums, seven box sets, eight gospel compilation albums, forty-six EPs and 146 singles (in the UK, including singles only available via digital download). It also includes numerous budget/mid-price compilation albums, repackaged albums and one remix album. These figures are based on Richard's releases in his native UK plus a small number of new music releases for specific markets such as Germany, France, Japan and the US. There have been many additional compilation albums and singles released outside the UK that are too numerous to include, however some of the more successful or notable singles released outside the UK have been included in the Singles section.
In the UK, Cliff is the most successful British male solo artist of all time. He also has the distinction of being the only artist to have achieved UK number one singles throughout five consecutive decades, in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Richard has the unique distinction of having a number-one single on the charts with the same song, with "Living Doll" in 1959, and then re-recording with the cast of The Young Ones, three decades later. Richard released his 102nd album in 2016, titled Just... Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll, which includes a posthumous duet of "Blue Suede Shoes" with Elvis Presley and continues in the rock and roll theme of his previous studio album The Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Songbook.
