Dalida discography
Wikimedia artist discography
French singer Dalida signed a recording contract with Barclay, a label owned by Eddie Barclay, in 1956. In late 1960s, her brother Orlando became her producer which resulted signing recording contract with Orlando Productions in 1970. Under those two recording houses, she recorded up to 700 songs in 9 different languages and in her name was released more than 500 different records in various audio formats, accumulatively during and after her life.
This list contains solely the releases issued during Dalida's life. Her albums, singles and EPs are listed below and organised by type and chronology. The titles are taken from the covers, or title songs, or if the title of one song is larger than the others. Some albums are commonly named. In other countries Dalida has released the same records whose cover art was frequently different, and sometimes the tracks names were translated to languages of countries of release. Those records are not specifically highlighted as they are merely variations of the ones that are listed.

Why this record matters
“Dalida discography” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Dalida, discography and Wikimedia provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5210978. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1956 and 1970.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
