This article presents the discography of the Jackson 5 (currently known as the Jacksons), an American family band from Gary, Indiana.
Founding group members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael formed the group after performing in an early incarnation called the Jackson Brothers, which originally consisted of a trio of the three older brothers. In 1975, the youngest brother Randy Jackson replaced Jermaine when the brothers signed with Epic Records and Jermaine stayed with Motown Records. In 1983, Jermaine returned to the group, but by 1989, Marlon and Michael had already left to focus on their solo careers.
Between 1969 and 2024, the group charted 32 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, taking 24 of those singles inside the top forty, with 18 of the singles reaching the top 20, 11 peaking inside the top ten, 8 peaking inside the top 5 and four topping the chart. To this day, they remain the only group in music history to have their first four singles top the Billboard Hot 100.
