Frank Sinatra discography

American vocalist Frank Sinatra recorded 59 studio albums and 297 singles in his solo career, spanning 54 years.

Sinatra after having had stints with the quartet The Hoboken Four and with the orchestras of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, launched a solo career in 1943, signing with Columbia Records; his debut album The Voice of Frank Sinatra was issued in 1946. Sinatra would achieve greater success with Capitol and Reprise Records, the former of which he released his final two albums on—Duets and Duets II. Eight compilation albums under Sinatra's name were released in his lifetime, with more albums released following his death in 1998.

Studio albums

Columbia Records introduced the LP album on June 21, 1948; prior to that albums were collections of 78s in a booklet resembling a photo album, rarely more than four records to a set. Sinatra's Capitol studio albums were released on Concepts in 1992, and the bulk of his Capitol recordings released on the 1998 album The Capitol Years.

Holiday 100 chart entries

Since many radio stations in the US adopt a format change to Christmas music each December, many holiday hits have an annual spike in popularity during the last few weeks of the year and are retired once the season is over. In December 2011, Billboard began a Hot Holiday Songs chart with 50 positions that monitored the last five weeks of each year to "rank the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay, and sales data", and in 2013 the number of positions on the chart was doubled, resulting in the Holiday 100. A handful of Sinatra recordings have made appearances on the Holiday 100 and are noted below according to the holiday season in which they charted there.

Videography

This is a list of programs featuring Frank Sinatra that are officially sanctioned by the Sinatra estate. Most releases consist of videotaped television specials or live concerts. Like many recording artists of the era, even major stars like Elvis Presley and The Beatles, there is very little performance footage shot on actual film to create modern day high definition releases. All titles listed have been released on DVD separately and collectively in various countries, most are also on VHS and some on LaserDisc.
