Kiss discography
The following is the discography of the American hard rock band Kiss. The group, formed in 1973, first consisted of bassist Gene Simmons, rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley, lead guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss. It is the most recognizable and successful line-up, which lasted until Criss' departure in 1980. The band is known for its make-up and stage antics, which influenced many artists who later used similar effects in their concerts.
The band's eponymous debut album was released in 1974. Despite the constant touring and promotions, the album peaked at 87 on ''Billboard'', without the benefit of a hit-single.〔 The follow-up album, ''Hotter Than Hell'' (1974), was a bigger disappointment, peaking at 100 and quickly dropping off the charts.〔 ''Dressed to Kill'', released in 1975, was a much bigger success, breaking into Top-40, but the band's record label, Casablanca Records, was close to bankruptcy and needed a commercial breakthrough. This would later be achieved with both Kiss' and Casablanca's first Top-10 album, the double-live album ''Alive!'', which featured the number 12 hit "Rock and Roll All Nite".〔〔 The next three albums, ''Destroyer'', ''Rock and Roll Over'' and ''Love Gun'' were a success, achieving Multi Platinum status and spawning Top-20 singles (including the number 7 ballad "Beth", the band's highest charting single in the US).〔〔
Their seventh studio release, ''Dynasty'', while being a musical departure, was a global success, thanks largely to the world-wide hit, "I was made for lovin' you" The next three albums, ''Unmasked'', ''Music from "The Elder"'' and ''Creatures of the Night'', were domestic commercial failures, even as the band maintained popularity in many other parts of the world. ''Lick It Up'' was the first album featuring the band without make-up and was certified Platinum. Their next studio releases (''Animalize'', ''Asylum'', ''Crazy Nights'', ''Smashes, Thrashes & Hits'') were more successful and Kiss recaptured some of their earlier glory (though not to the level of their '70s heyday). ''Hot in the Shade'' was the lowest charting album of the unmasked era in the US, despite the success of the top 10 power ballad "Forever".〔
With their 16th studio release, ''Revenge'', Kiss attempted to modernize their sound for the 1990s with heavier songs. The album initially charted at #6 on the ''Billboard'' 200,〔 and quickly reached Gold status in the U.S.〔 1997's ''Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions'' was released after the reunion tour and didn't receive much promotion. It has yet to be certified Gold in the US despite the album's lone single "Jungle" reaching number 8 on the US Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.〔 Followed by a highly successful reunion, in 1998 ''Psycho Circus'' was released and was a moderate success. Their first album in 11 years, ''Sonic Boom'', was released in 2009.〔 The band released their 20th studio album, ''Monster'', on October 9, 2012. According to some sources, Kiss have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. To date, Kiss have had 25 million copies certified by the RIAA in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?resultpage=2&table=tblTopArt&action= )〕The band has 30 gold albums as of July 2015.
