Since 1983, the American funk rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers has released 13 studio albums, two live albums, 12 compilation albums, 11 video albums (including promotional releases), five extended plays, 66 singles (including promotional releases), and 53 music videos. To date, the band has sold over 120 million records worldwide.[1] According to the RIAA the Chili Peppers have 6× Multi-Platinum, 2× Platinum and 3× Gold albums in the US, totalling 28.5m. They also have 9× Multi-Platinum, 3× Platinum and 6× Gold singles too, totalling 46m.[2] They have been nominated for 19 Grammy Awards, of which they have won 6.[3] They have the most no.1 singles (15), the most cumulative weeks at no.1 (91) and most top-10 songs (28) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers released their first three studio albums—1984's The Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1985's Freaky Styley, and 1987's The Uplift Mofo Party Plan—to virtually no commercial success during the mid to late 1980s. However, after future success with fans visiting their early work, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan would eventually become their earliest album to be certified by the RIAA by going Gold. It was the only album to feature all 4 founding members and featured the single 'Fight Like A Brave'. Hillel Slovak died and Jack Irons departed. They were eventually replaced by John Frusciante and Chad Smith.[4]
It was not until their fourth studio album, 1989's Mother's Milk, that the band received critical attention when the album peaked at no.52 on the Billboard 200. It became their first album to go Gold and would eventually go onto reach Platinum status. 'Knock Me Down' would be the first single and it became their first ever entry on the Alternative Rock Songs chart reaching no.6. The follow-up single was a cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground', it peaked at no.11 on the Alternative Rock Songs chart, gaining the Chili Peppers more attention. 'Taste the Pain' was also released as a single. Although not on Mother's Milk but recorded around the same time and featured on the 'Pretty Women' soundtrack, the single 'Show Me Your Soul' was released, reaching no.10 on the Alternative Rock Songs chart.
After releasing their fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik in September 1991, the Red Hot Chili Peppers broke into the mainstream. EMI Records and the group parted ways and the band signed a new deal with Warner Brothers Records. In addition, they had producer Rick Rubin on board. The first single 'Give It Away' gave them their first no.1 on the Alternative Rock Charts and it peaked inside the top 75 of the US Hot 100. The second single, "Under the Bridge", gave them their biggest hit, peaking at no.2 on the main US Hot 100. It also peaked at no.6 on the Alternative Rock Songs chart. Other singles cracking onto that chart include 'Suck My Kiss', reaching no.15; 'Breaking the Girl', reaching no.19; and the less successful 'If You Have to Ask'. The album reached no.3 in the US and reached no.1 in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. At the time of its run, the album went 5× platinum in the US, and has since been certified 7× platinum. BSSM became a foundation for alternative rock in the 1990s.[5] [6] [7] Guitarist John Frusciante quit the band shortly thereafter in 1992 and was replaced by Arik Marshall who was fired in 1993 being briefly replaced by Jesse Tobias before he too departed. Recorded in the Blood Sugar Sex Magik sessions but didn't appear on the album, the Chili Peppers released 'Soul To Squeeze' from the 'Coneheads' soundtrack. The single reached no.1 on the Alternative Rock Charts.
In 1994, the group's former record label EMI released 'What Hits!?', a compilation of songs from the Chili Peppers' first four albums on EMI. They promoted it with the single 'Behind The Sun', a song from 1987's Uplift Mofo Party Plan album. It reached no.7 on the Alternative Rock Charts. The album reached no.22 on the US Billboard 200 and went platinum.
The Chili Peppers' search for a new guitarist ended when they recruited Dave Navarro from the band Jane's Addiction. Warner Brothers would release the band's sixth studio album, One Hot Minute, in September 1995. The album peaked at no.4 on the US Billboard 200. It reached no.1 in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and Finland and landed in the top 10 in several other countries. The first single, 'Warped', reached no.7 on the Alternative Rock Charts and was followed by 'My Friends' at no.1 and 'Aeroplane' at no.8 on the same chart. Although the album scored no US Hot 100 hits, it was certified 2× platinum. In 1997, the single 'Love Rollercoaster' was released from the 'Beavis and Butthead Do America' soundtrack, reaching no.14 on the Alternative Rock Songs chart. Navarro was fired from the group in 1998 as the band was starting to work on their follow-up album.
After a six-year absence, John Frusciante rejoined the Chili Peppers in 1998 and their seventh studio album, Californication, was released in June 1999. It peaked at no.3 on the Billboard 200. The album has since been certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It reached no.1 in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Sweden, Finland and Norway whilst landing in the top 3 in numerous other countries. The album spawned six singles and one top 10 hit on the Hot 100. The first single, "Scar Tissue", reached no.9 on the Hit 100 and hit no.1 on the Alternative Rock Charts where it stayed for 16 weeks and has gone 6 x Platinum. Other singles included 'Around The World' reached no.8 and went gold, 'Otherside' 5 x Platinum, also reached no.1 and stayed at the top spot for 13 weeks, 'Californication' reached no.1, 6 x Platinum 'Parallel Universe' no.37 reaching gold and 'Road Trippin', also gold.
Californication was followed by By the Way in July 2002. By the Way peaked at no.2 on the Billboard 200 and was certified 2× platinum. The first single being the title track "By the Way", it reached no.1 on the Alternative Rock Charts and remained at the top spot for 14 weeks and was certified 2× platinum. 'The Zephyr Song' reached no.6 going gold and "Can't Stop" reached the no.1, all on the Alternative Rock Songs chart. Other singles released were 'Dosed' and 'Universally Speaking'.
In late 2003, Warner Brothers released 'The Greatest Hits' a compilation from their Warner years. It also featured two new songs, one of them being 'Fortune Faded' which reached no.8 on the Alternative Rock Charts. The album reached no.18 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified 2× platinum.
In August 2004, the live album Live At Hyde Park, which was a double album consisting of songs they performed over their 3 shows at that venue, was released. The album saw a limited release, only being released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Stadium Arcadium, the band's ninth studio album, was released in May 2006. It became the band's first album to reach no.1 on the US Billboard 200 and reached the top spot in other countries including UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Holland. It was a double album featuring 28 songs, one disc was named 'Mars' and the other named 'Jupiter'. It went on to be certified 4× platinum. Stadium Arcadium spawned three straight no.1 hits on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart; "Dani California" spent 14 consecutive weeks at the top of the chart and also peaked at no.6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other singles were 'Tell Me Baby', 'Snow (Hey Oh)', 'Hump de Bump', and 'Desecration Smile'.
The Chili Peppers entered the studio in September 2010 to record their 10th studio album, and their first with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer after John Frusciante departed the year before. The album I'm with You was released in August 2011. It peaked at no.2 on the Billboard 200 and went Gold.

Other singles that were released included 'Monarchy Of Roses' at no.4, 'Look Around' at no.8 and 'Brendan's Death Song'.
Producer Danger Mouse produced the Chili Peppers' next album, replacing Rick Rubin after 25 years and the group's previous six albums. The new release was titled The Getaway and was released in June 2016. "Dark Necessities", the first single from the album, hit the no.1 spot on the Alternative Rock chart and was certified Platinum. The song was also the band's 25th top ten single on the Alternative Songs chart.[8] It also became only the fourth song ever to top the Mainstream Rock, Alternative Songs and Adult Alternative charts simultaneously.[9] The single also became the Chili Peppers 30th to chart inside the chart's top 20.[8] The Getaway made its debut at no.2 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified gold. It reached the top 10 in several other countries, hitting the top spot including Australia, Holland, Italy, New Zealand, and Switzerland. Other singles which were released included 'Go Robot' at no.12, 'Sick Love' and 'Goodbye Angels' at no.25.
In December 2019, the Chili Peppers announced in a released statement that they were parting ways with Klinghoffer and that John Frusciante was again returning to the band. The Chili Peppers 12th studio album, Unlimited Love, their first album to be released with Frusciante in 16 years, was released on April 1, 2022 with Rick Rubin returning as producer.[10] Unlimited Love made its debut at no.1 on the Billboard 200 charts.[11] The album was preceded by the first single, "Black Summer", which became the band's highest debuting single at no.3 and eventually reaching no.1 on the Alternative Rock Charts. With this song, the band also scored a no.1 single in four different decades on the Alternative Rock Songs chart, tying them with Green Day. The song 'Poster Child' was used as a promotional single and they also released the single 'These Are The Ways' which reached no.28.
