Various singers and bands from countries around the world, including Brazil, Germany, Colombia, Poland, the United States, India and Japan, have released MTV-branded albums after performing on MTV shows, a majority of these coming from MTV Unplugged. Most of the live albums are released as audio-only or as visual concert performance albums. Some albums are released as combinations of the two. In Brazil, albums are generally released as Acústico MTV or MTV ao Vivo, all different programs from MTV Brasil. MTV has also released compilation albums containing music videos or tracks from the various releases.
