The discography of Scottish pop rock band Texas contains 10 studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums and 45 singles. Their most successful single to date is "Say What You Want" (1997), which peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. Texas made their performing debut in March 1988 at Scotland's University of Dundee. They took their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas. The band released their debut album Southside in 1989, along with the debut single "I Don't Want a Lover", which was a worldwide success, charting at number eight on the UK Singles Chart and other high charting positions in Europe. Southside debuted at number three in the United Kingdom and number 88 on the US Billboard 200 album chart. Despite the success of Southside, follow-up albums Mothers Heaven and Ricks Road were less successful in the UK.
Texas' White on Blonde album was one of the best selling albums of 1997. To date, it has been certified six-fold platinum in the UK, making it the band's best selling UK album. Their only other album to reach a six-fold platinum certification was 2000's The Greatest Hits. Follow up The Hush was also successful, debuting at number one on the UK album charts and being certified triple platinum. Texas released a further two studio albums, Careful What You Wish For in 2003, and Red Book in 2005, both of which were certified gold in the UK. After the release of Red Book and a tour to support the album's release, Texas entered a self-imposed hiatus. Lead singer Sharleen Spiteri launched a successful solo career, releasing her debut solo album Melody in 2008.
The band returned from their hiatus in 2013, releasing the album The Conversation which reached the top ten in Scotland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland and France. The lead single of the same name saw Texas return to the UK Singles Charts for the first time since "Sleep" in 2006. The Conversation was certified Platinum in France, indicating sales in excess of 130,000 copies,[1] and achieved Gold certification in the United Kingdom.[2] A compilation album, Texas 25 was released in 2015, and featured the single "Start a Family", which featured guest vocals by actor Alan Rickman.[3] Their ninth studio album, Jump on Board, was released in 2017 and spawned the singles "Let's Work It Out" and "Tell That Girl" which were commercial hits in Belgium. Their tenth studio album, Hi was released in 2021, and saw the band collaborate once again with the Wu-Tang Clan, previously having done so in 1998 with "Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)". The second single, "Mr Haze", was a moderate success in Belgium. A compilation album, The Very Best of 1989–2023 was released in June 2023, reaching number one in Scotland, and the top ten in the United Kingdom, Belgium and France.[4][5]

Compilation albums
Texas's compilation albums serve as retrospective overviews of the band's career, aggregating selections from their studio recordings to showcase key hits and milestones. These releases, primarily issued through major labels like Mercury and [PIAS], frequently incorporate exclusive new material or re-recorded versions of classics, often coinciding with anniversaries or commercial repackaging efforts. They have achieved notable commercial success in the UK, with certifications reflecting enduring popularity. The band's inaugural major compilation, The Greatest Hits, was released on October 23, 2000, by Mercury Records. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and remained in the top 40 for over a year, earning six-times platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for UK sales surpassing 1.8 million units.[12] The album features 18 tracks drawn from Texas's first five studio albums, spanning 1989 to 1999, plus three new recordings: "In Demand" (co-written with producer Ross Cullum), "Inner Smile," and "I'll See It Through." These exclusives were produced to refresh the material for contemporary audiences, with "In Demand" serving as the lead single, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart. The standard CD edition includes a 16-page booklet with liner notes and photography, while limited editions offered bonus remixes.| Track | Title | Original Album/Source | Duration |

Live albums
Texas's sole official live album, The BBC Sessions, was released on 24 September 2007 by Mercury Records as a double-CD compilation.[16] This collection features 24 tracks drawn from archival BBC radio sessions recorded between March 1989 and October 2003, primarily at BBC Radio 1 studios in London, capturing the band's in-studio live performances across their career.[17] The sessions showcase Texas's dynamic range, from raw early renditions of tracks like "Thrill Has Gone" to more polished later performances, often with stripped-down acoustic arrangements that differ from their studio versions, such as the intimate take on their breakthrough hit "I Don't Want a Lover."[18] The album highlights the band's long-standing relationship with the BBC, compiling material from sessions hosted by presenters including Richard Skinner, Johnnie Walker, and Jo Whiley, reflecting their growth from debut-era rock energy to the sophisticated pop rock of their mid-1990s peak.[19] No reissues or significant variants have been noted beyond the original European CD edition.[16]| Disc | Track | Title | Session Date and Presenter | Duration |

Singles and EPs
Extended plays
Texas's sole non-album extended play, Everyday Now, was released in June 1989 by Mercury Records as a precursor to their debut studio album, Southside.[20] This EP marked the band's earliest official release, showcasing their initial blend of pop rock and blues influences through a mix of original material and covers, and served as a testing ground for songs that would shape their breakthrough sound.[21] Limited to 5,000 numbered copies in its primary 12-inch vinyl format, it also appeared on cassette and CD, emphasizing its promotional and collector-oriented nature.[22] The EP features three studio tracks on Side A—"Everyday Now" (4:39), "Believe Me" (4:00), and "All in Vain" (3:46)—which highlighted lead singer Sharleen Spiteri's vocal style and the band's songwriting partnership between Spiteri and Ally McErlaine.[23] Side B consists of three live recordings captured at Paradiso in Amsterdam in June 1989: a rendition of "Everyday Now" (4:56), the Elmore James cover "It Hurts Me Too" (3:45), and Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City" (5:18).[21] These live cuts, produced by the band with radio broadcast support from KRO, demonstrated their stage energy and cover song interpretations that influenced early B-sides and album tracks.[24] While the EP itself did not achieve significant standalone chart success, the title track "Everyday Now" was released as a single on July 24, 1989, debuting at number 58 and peaking at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart, providing crucial momentum ahead of Southside's October release.[25] Tracks like "Believe Me" and "All in Vain" served as precursors to B-sides for subsequent singles such as "I Don't Want a Lover," underscoring the EP's role in the band's transitional development from indie demos to major-label debut.[1] No remix editions or additional limited variants beyond the initial pressing have been documented.[20]Singles as lead artist
Texas has released numerous singles as the lead artist since their debut in 1989, with many achieving notable success on the UK Singles Chart, where they have secured 13 top 10 entries and 22 top 40 positions.[2] Early singles were primarily issued on Mercury Records in formats such as 7-inch vinyl, 12-inch vinyl, and cassette, often featuring B-sides like live tracks or album cuts; later releases shifted to CD singles and digital downloads under labels including PIAS Recordings.[1] While most singles promoted their studio albums, some served as standalone or compilation tracks, and non-charting promo singles and demos from the late 1980s, such as early versions of "Belief" and "One Choice," were circulated prior to their major label breakthrough but remain unofficial.[1] The band's singles discography includes over 45 releases, encompassing reissues, remixes, and covers. Below is a chronological table of their primary singles as lead artist, focusing on key commercial releases with available chart data from the UK (where applicable), associated albums, labels, select formats, and certifications. Chart positions are from the Official Charts Company; non-charting or promo entries are noted separately where verified. B-sides are included for representative early examples to illustrate typical pairings.| Year | Title | Album | UK Peak | Label | Formats | B-side Examples | Certification |

Singles as featured artist
Sharleen Spiteri, the lead vocalist of Texas, has made occasional guest appearances on singles by other artists, contributing her distinctive vocals to collaborative tracks outside the band's primary releases. These features often blend Texas's pop rock sensibilities with diverse genres, showcasing Spiteri's versatility as a performer.[35] The most notable example is her contribution to the house music single "Nothing 2 Prove" by DJ and producer Roger Sanchez. Released in 2001 as part of the album First Contact, the track features Spiteri's lead vocals over Sanchez's electronic production, creating a fusion of soulful pop and dance elements. The single was issued in multiple formats, including vinyl and CD, with remixes by artists such as Timo Maas and Silicone Soul to appeal to club audiences. Although it did not achieve significant commercial success on major charts, it received positive reception in dance music circles for its energetic vibe and Spiteri's emotive delivery.[35][36]| Year | Primary Artist | Single Title | Contribution | Chart Performance/Context |

Collaborative projects
In 2015, Texas released Texas 25, a special compilation album marking the band's 25th anniversary, featuring re-recorded versions of their greatest hits in collaboration with the New York City soul production duo Truth & Soul, known for their work with artists like Amy Winehouse and Adele.[38][5] The project involved reworking 12 classic tracks at Truth & Soul's Queens studio, mixed at Dan Auerbach's Nashville facility, infusing the originals with a soulful, Motown-inspired edge while adding four new songs.[39] This collaborative effort peaked at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and received positive reviews for revitalizing the band's catalog with fresh, authentic arrangements.[2][40] Texas's most recent collaborative project, The Muscle Shoals Sessions (2024), pairs the band with legendary American pianist and songwriter Spooner Oldham for a stripped-back reinterpretation of their hits, recorded during the summer of 2022 at Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.[41][42] Oldham's delicate piano lines anchor the 14-track album, which reimagines 12 Texas staples alongside covers of Charles & Eddie's "Would I Lie to You" and The Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me," emphasizing intimate, timeless soul arrangements over the originals' pop production.[43][44] Released on March 29, 2024, via [PIAS], the album debuted at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and reached number 19 in France, praised by critics for its emotional depth and the synergy between Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri's vocals and Oldham's understated accompaniment.[45][46][47][44] The track listing for The Muscle Shoals Sessions is as follows:- Halo

Contributions to compilations and soundtracks
Texas has made several notable contributions to film soundtracks and multi-artist compilation albums, often featuring tracks from their studio releases or exclusive covers that extended the band's reach beyond their core discography. "In Our Lifetime," originally from the 1999 album The Hush, was featured in the 1999 romantic comedy Notting Hill, providing a melodic backdrop to key scenes and introducing the song to a broader cinematic audience.[49] The band contributed "I'll See It Through" from their 2003 album Careful What You Wish For to the soundtrack of Love Actually, where it underscored emotional moments in the holiday ensemble film, helping to boost the track's visibility during the movie's release.[50] In 2005, "When We Are Together," a live version from The Greatest Hits (2000), appeared in the romantic comedy The Wedding Date, enhancing the film's themes of reconciliation and connection.[51] On the compilation front, Texas provided a cover of Altered Images' "Don't Talk to Me About Love" for the 2014 BBC Radio 2 album Sounds of the 80s, a multi-artist tribute project celebrating the decade's music that highlighted the band's interpretive style in a collaborative format.[52] These appearances, spanning soundtracks and tributes, have occasionally included alternate mixes tailored for film use, such as edited versions to fit narrative pacing, though no unreleased exclusives unique to these projects have been documented as of 2025.Videography
Video albums
Texas's sole official long-form video release is the concert film Texas: Paris, issued by Mercury Records in November 2001.[53] Recorded during the band's sold-out performances at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy (also known as Le Bercy) on April 4 and 22, 2001, as part of their Greatest Hits Tour, the DVD captures a high-energy set drawing heavily from the The Hush (1999) era while spanning their catalog. Directed by Philippe Andre and Dick Carruthers, the production features a full live concert lasting approximately 70 minutes, complemented by a 40-minute compilation of greatest hits music videos and 12 minutes of bonus band interviews.[54][55] The release, formatted exclusively as a Region 2 PAL DVD with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, runs a total of 122 minutes and showcases frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri's commanding stage presence amid a crowd of over 17,000 fans. No VHS or Blu-ray editions have been issued, though the content aligns with the band's contemporaneous BBC live audio recordings from similar tours. The concert portion emphasizes Texas's blend of pop rock and soul influences, with a setlist of 18 tracks including staples like "In Demand," "Black Eyed Boy," and covers such as Al Green's "Tired of Being Alone."| Track | Title |
