The following is a comprehensive discography of The Prodigy, a British electronica band formed in 1990 by Liam Howlett. The Prodigy has released four studio albums, two compilations, three EPs, 17 singles, and 17 music videos.
The Prodigy's first release was the 1991 rave song "What Evil Lurks", released on 12" vinyl in a limited number.[1] The single and it's B-sides were included as part of a 10-track demo Howlett sent to XL Recordings. The Prodigy's first full-length release came a year later, 1992's Experience, on XL Recordings. The album peaked at #12 in the UK and was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[2][3] The band followed up in 1994 with Music for the Jilted Generation, which peaked at #1 in the United Kingdom, and broke into the Billboard 200 in the United States.[2][4]
The Prodigy's biggest hit is their 1997 album The Fat of the Land, which peaked at #1 in six countries, and was certified multi-Platinum in five countries.[4] Three singles from the album also charted well, including "Firestarter" which was certified Gold in the UK and the US,[5][6] and "Breathe", which was certified Platinum in the UK and double Platinum in Australia.[5][7] The Fat of the Land also included the controversial single "Smack My Bitch Up", the video for which saw limited airplay because of its content.
In 1999, the Prodigy released The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One, a mix-album produced entirely by Hewitt. The album failed to chart in the UK and peaked at #136 in the US.[4] After a five year hiatus, the Prodigy released their fourth full-length album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, which peaked at #1 in the UK and on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart.[2][4] In 2005, the band released a compilation album, Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005, which included a remix of their 1994 single "Voodoo People". According to the band's website, the band is currently at work on their fifth album.
