The Killers discography
Wikimedia band discography
American rock band the Killers have released seven studio albums, one live album, four compilation albums, two extended plays, 42 singles, 11 promotional singles, and 48 music videos. Part of the post-punk revival movement, the Killers are influenced by music styles of the 1980s and 1990s. The band has sold over 28 million records worldwide. The group's debut album, Hot Fuss (2004), brought the band mainstream success, spawning four UK top-20 singles, including "Mr. Brightside". The album has since been certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and eight-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), selling seven million copies worldwide.
The Killers' second studio album, Sam's Town, was released in October 2006, being met initially by mixed reviews but nonetheless proving a commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 with opening sales of 315,000 units, and going on to be certified double-platinum by the RIAA. In the UK, the album debuted atop the chart and went on to be certified five-times platinum by the BPI. The compilation album Sawdust was released in November 2007, containing B-sides, rarities, and new material.
The band's third album, Day & Age, produced by Stuart Price, was released in November 2008 and spawned the commercially successful single "Human", described by Brandon Flowers as "our biggest song, pound for pound". Day & Age proved a commercial success in Europe, and was certified platinum by the RIAA. Their fourth album, Battle Born, was released in September 2012, becoming the band's fourth consecutive album to reach number one in both the UK and Ireland.
In November 2013, in celebration of their first decade together, the band released their first greatest hits album, titled Direct Hits, a contractual requirement with their record label.

Why this record matters
“The Killers discography” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Killers, discography and Wikimedia provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1645050. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
