This article is the discography for jazz musician Herbie Hancock and includes all the studio albums and some live albums, compilations, soundtracks and original scores, as well as a partial list of records released as a sideman.
Listed are peak chart positions for the United States (Billboard 200, Top Traditional Jazz Albums and Top Contemporary Jazz Albums), France1, Germany, Japan2, Netherlands3, Sweden3, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Furthermore, there are certifications from RIAA and IFPI Germany, with relative sales figure.
NOTES:
1 - In France, from 1989 greatest hits/compilations of the artists are charted in a compilation chart. From 2002 to 2005, albums with price under 10€ were charted in a mid price chart. In 2005, the rules changed again, with the full price list that became a back catalogue chart (generally albums that are at least 2 years old, sometimes also less). In this page, Top Albums (from 2002 full price/new albums list) and Top Compilations were used.
2 - In Japan, the chart was separated into LPs and Cassettes (with a CD chart added in 1985) until 1987, when the charts were unified. For pre-1987 peak positions, the LP chart is used, as that was the main medium.
3 - In Netherlands, there are the catalogue rules in the albums chart from 2003. From this date, a back catalogue chart was established. In Sweden the albums chart is divided into Top Fullprice Albums (reported in this page) and Top Midprice Albums. Furthermore, prior September 1993, the charts were bi-weekly.
