The discography of dream pop band Beach House consists of eight studio albums, one compilation album, seven extended plays, 17 singles, nine promotional singles and 16 music videos. The band was formed in 2004 in Baltimore, Maryland, by sole members Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, who met each other in the city through a mutual friend in 2004, originally part of college-formed band Daggerhearts.
On October 3, 2006, they would release their self-titled debut album through Carpark Records, Beach House, which was recorded on a budget of reportedly about $1,000. On February 26, 2008, they released their second studio album Devotion, which would become the band's first album to appear on the US Billboard 200 chart, debuting at number 195 with 3,000 copies sold within its first week. Announced in August 2008, they released their debut single, "Used to Be", on October 21, as a 7-inch vinyl release, which included a 4-track demo of "Apple Orchard" as its B-side. In September 2009, it was announced that the duo had signed onto Sub Pop, marking their departure from Carpark, along with a confirmation that the duo were recording their third studio album, for which they released its lead single "Norway" in November of that year. The band's third studio album, Teen Dream, was released on January 26, 2010, to critical acclaim, and debuted at number 43 on the Billboard 200. By April 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan, their self-titled album had sold 24,000 copies, with Devotion selling 49,000 and Teen Dream selling 137,000.
They released fourth studio album, Bloom, was released on May 15, 2012, to similar acclaim as Teen Dream. It was supported by two acclaimed singles, "Myth" and "Lazuli". The album debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, selling 41,000 copies in its first week; this is the duo's best selling album and highest entry on the chart. It also debuted at number 15 on the UK Albums Chart. By 2013, Bloom had sold over 100,000 copies worldwide. On August 28, 2015, their fifth studio album Depression Cherry was released, and debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, selling over 27,000 copies within its first week. On October 16 of the same year, they released their sixth album Thank Your Lucky Stars, which debuted at number 39 on the chart, selling 10,000 copies in its first week. On June 30, 2017, the band would release the 14-track compilation album B-Sides and Rarities, which would serve as a "cleaning out the closet" process in order to make room for a new creative process. On May 11, 2018, Beach House released their seventh studio album, 7, with support of the singles "Lemon Glow", "Dive", "Dark Spring", "Black Car" and "Lose Your Smile", the latter being released as a 7-inch single with "Alien" as its B-side. "Alien" was later released as a standalone single on October 23, 2018.
In 2021, six years after its initial release, "Space Song", the third track from their fifth studio album Depression Cherry, became a sleeper hit when it went viral on TikTok and experienced a resurgence in streams, later receiving a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in January 2022. After its appearance on the third episode of the Netflix-original television series Wednesday (2022), the song earned over four million streams in the United States, within the November 25–December 1, 2022, tracking week. With the support of the streams, the song debuted at number 20 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, marking their first appearance on the chart, later peaking at number 13 on the chart the following week. Their eighth studio album, Once Twice Melody, was released in four chapters starting November 2021. The entire album was also released in full, and was issued in physical formats on February 18, 2022.
