The discography of Simply Red, a British soul band, consists of thirteen studio albums, eight compilation albums, one extended play, fifty-three singles and a number of other appearances.
The band's first single "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)", was released in 1985 and reached the United Kingdom Top 20. Their debut album, Picture Book, was also released in 1985. The following year the band released "Holding Back the Years", which reached number one in Ireland and the US and number two in the UK. Their second album, Men and Women was released in 1987. Third album A New Flame was released in 1989, containing "If You Don't Know Me by Now", which became their second US number one hit. Their fourth album Stars became the best-selling album for two years running in Europe after its release in 1991 and was certified 12× Platinum in the UK.
Simply Red released "Fairground" in 1995, which became the band's first UK number one single. Its parent album was Life. The band followed this up with cover heavy Blue in 1998 and Love and the Russian Winter in 1999. Subsequent releases included Home in 2003, a mixture of original songs and covers; Simplified in 2005, mainly an album of stripped-down versions of their hit songs; and Stay, which was the band's tenth studio album released in 2007.
Mick Hucknall announced his intention to split the band in 2010; following which the band embarked on a farewell tour which commenced during 2009 and 2010.[1] The band re-formed in 2015.

Live albums
Simply Red's live albums capture the band's dynamic stage presence and soulful improvisations, often featuring extended versions of their signature hits performed in iconic venues. These releases emphasize the interactive energy of concerts, contrasting the polished production of studio recordings, and typically include a mix of fan favorites like "Holding Back the Years" and "Stars" alongside deeper cuts. Released primarily in CD/DVD combo formats, the albums highlight live arrangements with fuller instrumentation and audience engagement, though they achieved more modest commercial success compared to the band's studio efforts. The band's first major live release, Cuba! (Recorded Live at El Gran Teatro, Havana), documents a historic 2005 concert at the Gran Teatro de La Habana in Cuba, where Simply Red shared the stage with local musicians in a carnival-style collaboration. Released initially as a DVD in 2006 and later as a deluxe audio edition with two CDs in 2014, the album spans 19 tracks, including live renditions of "A Song for You," "Stars," "For Your Babies," and "Holding Back the Years," with extended jams and rhythmic infusions from Cuban percussionists adding unique flair to the performances.[25] In 2007, Stay: Live at the Royal Albert Hall was issued following a six-night residency at London's prestigious venue, where the band performed their contemporary studio album Stay in sequence alongside classics. Available as a CD/DVD set, the 21-track recording features soulful takes on "The World & You Tonight," "So Not Over You," "For Your Babies," and "Something Got Me Started," showcasing Mick Hucknall's vocal improvisations and the band's tight rhythm section in an intimate hall setting.[26] Farewell: Live in Concert at Sydney Opera House, recorded during the band's 2010 farewell tour at the Sydney Opera House, was released in 2011 as a CD/DVD package to mark a temporary hiatus. The 16-track set includes energetic live versions of "Your Mirror," "Jericho," "Enough," "Fairground," and "Stars," with the performance emphasizing career-spanning hits and subtle extensions in ballads like "You Make Me Feel Brand New" to engage the audience.[27] A more recent entry, Symphonica in Rosso (Live at Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam), captures a 2017 show backed by a 40-piece orchestra at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome, released in 2018 as a double CD with accompanying DVD. Featuring 20 tracks such as "All or Nothing at All," "For Your Babies," "Home," "Picture Book," and an orchestral swell on "Holding Back the Years," the album highlights symphonic rearrangements that amplify the emotional depth of the originals, blending pop-soul with classical elements for a grander scale. It reached number 58 on the UK Albums Chart.[28][3]| Title | Release Year | Venue | Key Tracks | Format |

Extended plays
Simply Red's extended plays are limited in number, reflecting the band's focus on full-length albums and singles during their career, with EPs serving primarily as promotional or archival releases to complement their early work and anniversary celebrations. The band's debut EP, 12" ERS, was issued exclusively in Japan in 1986 by WEA Records as a 12-inch vinyl release.[29] This collection gathered extended remixes of five key singles from their 1985 debut album Picture Book, aimed at bolstering international promotion in the Asian market during the group's breakthrough period. It did not achieve mainstream chart success but helped solidify their soul-pop sound through club-oriented mixes, bridging the gap between individual singles like "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)" and the album's cohesive narrative.

1980s singles
Simply Red's 1980s singles era began with their formation in Manchester and debut under Elektra Records, capturing a soul-pop fusion that resonated during the mid-1980s British music scene. The band's initial releases from the 1985 album Picture Book introduced their smooth, emotive style, with covers and originals blending R&B influences to achieve crossover appeal. By the late 1980s, singles from Men and Women (1987) and A New Flame (1989) solidified their international presence, particularly in the UK and US markets, where chart-topping hits like "Holding Back the Years" and "If You Don't Know Me by Now" demonstrated their ability to revive classic soul motifs for contemporary audiences.[3][33] These singles were primarily issued in 7-inch, 12-inch vinyl, and promotional formats, often featuring extended remixes on 12-inch versions to cater to club and radio play. Peak positions varied, with stronger performance in the UK initially, but US breakthroughs highlighted their transatlantic potential. The following table enumerates the 12 singles released during this decade:| Title | Release Year | Album | UK Peak | US Peak (Billboard Hot 100) | Certifications | Formats |

The 1990s represented Simply Red's most commercially dominant era, with singles from their albums Stars (1991), Life (1995), and Blue (1998) driving global success through soulful ballads and upbeat tracks that resonated across Europe and beyond. Building on their 1980s foundation, the band emphasized emotional depth in lyrics while incorporating dance-oriented remixes to extend play in clubs, a trend evident in extended plays and special editions like the David Morales mix of "Something Got Me Started." Key releases included multi-week UK top-10 hits, with "Fairground" marking their sole UK number-one single in 1995. Internationally, tracks like "Stars" topped charts in several European markets and achieved moderate US success, contributing to over 50 million records sold by the band overall during the decade.[3][35] The following table lists major 1990s singles, focusing on release dates, parent albums, selected chart peaks, and certifications where applicable.

2000s–present singles
In the 2000s, Simply Red experienced a commercial resurgence with the release of their album Home in 2003, which spawned multiple singles that returned the band to the UK top 10, including the lead track "Sunrise" and a cover of the Stylistics' "You Make Me Feel Brand New." These releases marked a shift toward more mature, soulful interpretations of pop and R&B, blending original material with covers to appeal to both longtime fans and new audiences in the emerging digital music landscape. Subsequent albums like Simplified (2005) and Stay (2007) produced singles with modest chart performance, reflecting the band's exploration of acoustic and simplified arrangements amid changing industry dynamics.[3] The 2010s and 2020s saw fewer traditional single releases as Simply Red focused on full albums and live performances, with promotional singles from projects like Big Love (2015) and Time (2023) achieving limited radio airplay but benefiting from streaming platforms for sustained digital plays. A highlight of this period came in 2025 with the Recollections album, a 40th anniversary collection featuring re-recorded versions of earlier hits, produced with longtime collaborator Andy Wright to offer fresh, faithful takes on classics like "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)" and "Stars." These re-recordings were released as standalone singles ahead of the album's November 21 launch, emphasizing the band's enduring legacy without aiming for immediate chart dominance. Earlier hits were occasionally re-recorded or remastered during this era, but the focus remained on new productions tied to anniversary themes.[14][36]| Year | Title | Album/EP | UK Peak | Certifications | Notes |

Videos
Music videos
Simply Red's music videos have been integral to the band's visual identity since their debut, often emphasizing Mick Hucknall's charismatic presence against soulful, emotive backdrops that complement the pop-soul sound of their singles. Early videos from the mid-1980s featured straightforward performance shots and narrative elements drawing on themes of longing and urban life, typically released on VHS formats, while later works in the 1990s and beyond adopted more cinematic styles with global locations and abstract concepts like space or festivals, transitioning to DVD and digital platforms like YouTube. Directors frequently collaborated with the band to highlight Hucknall's evolving on-screen persona—from a band-integrated frontman in the group's formative years to a solo focal point in mature productions—reflecting their shift toward polished, international appeal. Several videos earned recognition, including a 1986 MTV Video Music Awards nomination for Best New Artist for "Holding Back the Years" and a 1993 Brit Awards nomination for Best British Video for "For Your Babies."
