AKB48 discography

The discography of AKB48 consists of 1000 singles (5 998 major singles and 2 indie singles), seven studio albums, three compilation albums, and 32 stage albums (12 regular stage albums and 20 as Studio Recordings Collection). The major singles have title tracks that are sung by a selection of the AKB48 singers, some of whom are from AKB48's sister groups. Some of the singles are considered annual "election singles", that is, they contain ballots for a popularity contest to determine the line-up for the next single. Other singles have line-ups that are determined by rock-paper-scissors tournaments that are held annually. The group was created and currently produced by Yasushi Akimoto, who also writes the lyrics for all of the group's songs. They released 2 compilation albums before released their debut album titled Koko ni Ita Koto.
