This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by Courtney Love, best known as the lead vocalist of the alternative rock band Hole. Love has released one solo studio album and two singles.
Love's musical career started with a brief position as singer in Faith No More.[1] Love also founded the all-female group Babes in Toyland with Kat Bjelland, though she was kicked out of the band.[2] Love formed Hole in 1989, and the band released their debut album Pretty on the Inside in 1991. Love married Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1992, and the same year their child Frances Bean Cobain was born. The band's next album, Live Through This, was released in 1994 a week after Cobain's death. Live Through This became the band's best-selling album, topped the annual Village Voice Pazz & Jop critic's poll[3] and was listed by Time in a 100 best albums list.[4] Hole's next album, Celebrity Skin, had lower U.S. sales than Live Through This.[2] Love formed the band Bastard with Hole drummer Patty Schemel in 2001, though the group quickly dissolved.[2] Love and guitarist Eric Erlandson disbanded Hole in 2002 amidst a lawsuit from Universal Music Group against the band for breach of contract.[5] Love released her first solo album, America's Sweetheart, in 2004 to underwhelming sales.[6]
