Lionel Richie is an American R&B and pop singer-songwriter, who has released nine studio albums, three live albums, and seven compilation albums. Since his debut in 1982, Richie has released forty-two singles, five of which became number-one hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Richie's first four studio albums have all been certified "Multi-Platinum" by the Recording Industry Association of America. His second album, Can't Slow Down, is his highest certified album, being certified 10× Platinum.
