The discography of Pulp, an English Britpop band, consists of seven studio albums, one extended play, 10 compilation albums and 24 singles. They were formed in 1978 by Jarvis Cocker and had a continuously rotating band membership until the eleven years between 1991 and their hiatus on 15 December 2002 during which time they were largely settled.[1] They rose to prominence during the Britpop era in the early 1990s with their album His 'n' Hers (1994).
The band released two albums and eight singles in the 1980s, which garnered little attention from both audiences and critics.[2] Their first charting single was "Razzmatazz", which charted at No. 80 on the UK Singles Chart. His 'n' Hers was their first charting album, peaking at No. 9 on the UK Album Charts.
As they become part of the Brit-Pop music scene, the band scored their first major hits most notably Common People and Disco 2000. Their 1995 album Different Class was a commercial success peaking at number one in the UK and going platinum 4 times. Two further albums, which achieved moderate commercial success.
Due to the fact that Fire Records own the material from the band's first three albums, it was re-released several times after Pulp achieved success. This spawned a number of compilation albums, most of which gained from little commercial success.
In 2013, their released a new single After You, written a number of years earlier it had never been fully finished and released until that point it peaked at number 102 in the UK and in the Top 40 UK Indie Chart.
