AKB48 discography


The discography of AKB48 consists of 68 singles, seven studio albums, three compilation albums, and 32 stage albums. 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.
