"Billboard 200" is not a printed work; "Billboard" is. That's why the "200" isn't italicized, as "Billboard 200" is the chart.

The discography of Radiohead, an English alternative rock band from Oxfordshire, consists of eight studio albums, twenty-four singles, seven extended plays, thirty music videos, seven video albums, and two compilations.

Radiohead were formed in Abingdon, England and consist of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, electronic instruments), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar, synthesisers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). Initially known as "On A Friday", the band was renamed to "Radiohead", inspired by the title of a song on Talking Heads' True Stories album.[1][2] The band signed EMI and released their debut album Pablo Honey on 22 February 1993. It received a Platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and a three-time Platinum certification by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA). The album contained the song "Creep", which was released later as their debut single and eventually became the band's most successful single, charting in five countries in the top 10. The second album, The Bends was released on 13 March 1995 and became the band's first album to peak in the top 10. It also received triple Platinum certifications by both BPI and CRIA.

OK Computer, the band's most successful album, was released two years later, on 16 June 1997. It peaked in the top 10 on several charts, including the UK Albums Chart and the Irish Albums Chart at number one, and received a triple Platinum by BPI and CRIA. The following albums were moderate successfully, winning Platinum and Gold certifications. Kid A became the first album to chart on the Billboard 200. Hail to the Thief became the last album released by EMI; the following two, In Rainbows and The King of Limbs, were self-released. The former was originally available as a digital download, for which customers could set their own price, and later in physical form and gained critical and chart success, selling more than three million copies within one year of release.[3] The latter was first released on 18 February 2011 as a digital download and later physically on 28 March.[4]
