The discography of the American pop group the Carpenters consists of 13 studio albums including 2 Christmas albums, 2 live albums, 49 singles, and numerous compilation albums a number of which were released only on certain territories.

The duo was made up of siblings Karen (lead vocals and drums) and Richard Carpenter (keyboards and vocals). The siblings started their musical career together in the latter half of the 1960s. In October 1969, six months after they signed a contract with A&M Records, the Carpenters released their debut album Offering (its title was later changed to Ticket to Ride). Within a year, they rose to prominence with their chart-topping single “(They Long to Be) Close to You“, a Burt Bacharach and Hal David composition that had not been commercially successful when it was recorded by television star Richard Chamberlain in 1963.

The Carpenters garnered worldwide commercial success, scoring big hits mainly in the first half of the 1970s. RIAA-certified sales of their records (albums, singles and videos) have been estimated at around 34.6 million units.[1] In the United Kingdom, they are ranked as the seventh top-selling albums artist on the official record chart of the 1970s.[2] During their career, the duo scored 1 number one album and another 4 Top 10 albums on Billboard 200, as well as 3 number one singles, 12 top 10 singles and 20 top 40 hits on Billboard Hot 100. They have also been the third-best-selling international music act in the Japanese market, only behind Mariah Carey and the Beatles.[3][4][5] By 2005, they had reportedly sold more than 100 million copies of records worldwide.[6]

Notes

  • C^ Chart position is from the official UK “Breakers List”
  • D^ When “Superstar” reached its 10th week, “Bless The Beasts and Children” significantly grew in its own airplay. Billboard Hot 100 began listing the single as “Superstar”/”Bless The Beasts and Children”, charting first at #16 on 11/20/71.
  • E^ “Superstar” and “For All We Know” were released as a double A-side in the UK.
  • F^ “Bless The Beasts and Children peaked at #67 on 1/15/72 as an A-side, following its peak at #6 when listed as the B-side of “Superstar”.
  • G^ “Top of the World” charted four times in Japan: #21 in 1972, #52 in 1973 (coincided with the song’s US success), in 1995 it was the B-side of the reissue of “I Need to Be in Love”, and subsequently it charted a fourth time (as an A-side) #83 in 2003.
  • H^ “I Won’t Last a Day Without You” was originally released as an A-side in the UK in 1972 with “Goodbye to Love” as the B-side and charted at #49. However, the sides were switched shortly after the record’s release. The former was later released as an A-side in the UK in 1974 to coincide with its first US release as an A-side.
  • I^ “Sweet, Sweet Smile” peaked at #8 on Billboard‘s Country singles chart.[43]
  • J^ The UK re-issue of “Merry Christmas, Darling” in 1990 features the second recorded version of the song from their 1978 Christmas Portrait album as opposed to the original 1970 version.

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.[44] In December 2011, Billboard began a Holiday Songs chart with 50 positions that monitors 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”,[45] and in 2013 the number of positions on the chart was doubled, resulting in the Holiday 100.[46] A handful of Carpenters recordings have made appearances on the Holiday 100 and are noted below according to the holiday season in which they charted there.
