The American rock band Paramore has released six studio albums, five extended plays, two live albums, one remix album, twenty-eight singles, one video album, and thirty music videos. The band was formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004 by lead vocalist Hayley Williams with guitarists Josh Farro and Taylor York, bassist Jeremy Davis, and drummer Zac Farro.[1] In 2005, Paramore signed with the New York City-based Fueled by Ramen and released their debut album entitled All We Know Is Falling. Three singles were released from the album, but none of them charted. The album did not chart in the Billboard 200 either, although it peaked at number thirty in the Billboard Top Heatseekers.[2] All We Know Is Falling received gold certification in the United Kingdom and in August 2025 the RIAA certified the album platinum in the United States.[3][4]

The band's breakthrough album came in 2007 with Riot!. After its release in June, the album peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard 200 album chart and received multiple certifications all over the world, including triple platinum in the United States.[4][5][6] The lead single, "Misery Business", became their first charting single in the Billboard Hot 100, certified single, and in 2015, the band's first to be certified triple platinum in the United States.[4] Paramore contributed to the Twilight film soundtrack in 2008 recording of two original songs, including the single "Decode". In 2009, the band released their third studio album Brand New Eyes, which debuted and peaked at number two in the United States, was the number one album in several other countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom, and was certified platinum in the United States in March 2016. The album produced five singles, including "Ignorance" and "The Only Exception", who both received certifications in numerous countries.[3][4][5][6] In 2013, the band released their fourth album Paramore, which peaked at number one in many countries and was certified platinum in the United States in March 2016. The singles "Still Into You" and "Ain't It Fun" both became radio hits, while the latter also became the band's first top ten single on Billboard Hot 100 chart.[7] The band released their fifth album, After Laughter in 2017 and their sixth album, This Is Why in 2023.

The discography of Paramore, an American rock band formed in 2004, consists of six studio albums, five extended plays, two live albums, one remix album, and numerous singles released primarily through Fueled by Ramen and Atlantic Records from 2005 onward. The band's debut studio album, All We Know Is Falling, arrived in 2005 and marked their entry into the pop-punk and alternative rock scenes, eventually earning a platinum certification from the RIAA in August 2025 for one million equivalent units sold in the United States. Their sophomore effort, Riot! (2007), represented a commercial breakthrough, peaking at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and achieving triple-platinum status from the RIAA in 2021 for over three million units. Subsequent releases include the platinum-certified Brand New Eyes (2009), which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and featured the multi-platinum single "The Only Exception," as well as the self-titled Paramore (2013), the band's first chart-topping album on the Billboard 200 and also platinum-certified by the RIAA. Later works encompass the pop-infused After Laughter (2017), which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and included the platinum single "Hard Times," and This Is Why (2023), debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with its title track topping the Alternative Airplay chart. Paramore's extended plays, such as the early The Summer Tic (2006) and the 2011 Singles Club series (four monthly releases), along with live albums like The Final Riot! (2008), highlight their evolution from high-energy to more experimental alternative sounds, while singles like "Misery Business" (six-times platinum) and "Ain't It Fun" (their first top-10 Hot 100 hit) underscore their enduring chart impact and over 10 billion streams on alone as of November 2025.

Studio albums

Paramore has released six studio albums, marking their evolution from pop-punk roots to more experimental rock sounds. Their debut, All We Know Is Falling, arrived in 2005 via Fueled by Ramen, establishing the band's energetic style produced by James Paul Wisner. Subsequent releases built on this foundation, with Riot! (2007, Fueled by Ramen) produced by David Bendeth achieving triple platinum status in the US for over 3 million units sold. Brand New Eyes (2009, Fueled by Ramen), also produced by Bendeth, debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and earned platinum certification. The self-titled Paramore (2013, Fueled by Ramen) marked a shift, co-produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Taylor York on select tracks, topping the Billboard 200 and reaching platinum. After Laughter (2017, Fueled by Ramen) introduced brighter pop influences under Meldal-Johnsen and York's production, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard 200 and certified gold. Their latest, This Is Why (2023, Atlantic), produced by Carlos de la Garza, debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200.
