The discography of the American alternative rock group Wilco, consists of thirteen studio albums, five extended plays (EPs), three live albums, twelve singles and four videos. As of 2012 they had sold in excess of two million albums worldwide.
Following the breakup of Uncle Tupelo, the band's first three studio albums were released on Reprise Records. During recording for the band's fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Reprise dropped the band from the label, causing outcry from media outlets such as the Chicago Tribune. Last accessed July 8, 2007. Via the Wayback Machine. The band signed with fellow Warner Bros. Records subsidiary Nonesuch Records in 2002. After the Nonesuch deal ended with 2009's Wilco (The Album), the band launched their own label, dBpm Records. Wilco recorded two albums of Woody Guthrie songs with Billy Bragg, and performed as a session band for The Minus 5 on their Down with Wilco album. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was the most successful album for the band, earning a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Last accessed July 27, 2007.
