The following is a comprehensive discography of Nine Inch Nails, an American industrial rock band formed in 1988 by Trent Reznor. Nine Inch Nails has released seven major studio releases, as well as numerous remix albums, singles with extensive b-sides, music videos, and tour documentaries. Nine Inch Nails has also contributed to numerous film soundtracks as well as the soundtrack to the video-game Quake.[1] The majority of Nine Inch Nails releases are labeled with "Halo numbers," a sequential numbering system that applies to most official Nine Inch Nails releases.

Initial ambitions for Nine Inch Nails in 1988 were to release one 12-inch single on a small European label.[2] With the addition of future singles "Head Like a Hole" and "Sin," many of these demo tracks would later appear in revised form on Pretty Hate Machine in 1989, co-produced by Adrian Sherwood and Mark "Flood" Ellis. In response to pressures from TVT Records for a follow-up to Nine Inch Nails' commercially successful debut, Reznor secretly began recording the Broken EP, released in 1992.[3] Nine Inch Nails' second full-length album, The Downward Spiral, entered the Billboard 200 in 1994 at number two,[4] and remains the highest-selling Nine Inch Nails release in the United States.[5]

Five years elapsed before Nine Inch Nails' next major album, The Fragile, a double album that debuted in September 1999 at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 228,000 copies in one week and receiving favorable reviews.[6] Another six years elapsed before Nine Inch Nails' next full-length album, With Teeth, which also debuted at the top of the Billboard 200.[7] In 2007, Year Zero, alongside an accompanying alternate reality game.[8] Reznor announced in late 2007 that Nine Inch Nails had fulfilled its contractual obligations with Interscope Records, and will distribute its next major album independently. The last Interscope release from Nine Inch Nails was a remix album based on material from Year Zero.[9] The Slip, Nine Inch Nails' most recent major studio recording, was released on May 5, 2008.

Halo numbers

Halo numbers are a system that orders official Nine Inch Nails releases. They correspond to the sequence in which the releases were made, and are named by the word "Halo" which precedes the number on the release. For example, the fifth Nine Inch Nails release, Broken, is identified with the phrase "Halo Five". Halo numbers are sometimes modified for alternate versions of a release, such as the multiple releases of The Downward Spiral. Promotional-only releases do not have their own Halo numbers, although the promotional singles for "Piggy" and "Hurt" were both labeled as "Halo Ten," a title later officially used for Further Down the Spiral. A U.S. promo for "Into the Void" is mislabeled as Halo 16. This number actually belongs to Things Falling Apart.

Seed numbers

Seed numbers are another system to catalog Nine Inch Nails releases, similar to the Halo system used for major releases. Although it is used in the same manner as the Halo numbers, Seed numbers have only seemed to be found on the Collected DVD in 2005, and the three Definitive Nine Inch Nails bootleg releases in 2006, originally posted on The Pirate Bay via torrents by a user called "seed0", who also leaked the DVD version of Closure. Fans have speculated that along with the DVD version of Closure, and the unofficial DVD format release of the "Broken Film", Reznor himself may have also been the source of the three "Definitive NIN" releases, compilations of previously released material.[34] When the "Lights in the Sky" tour sampler was released as a free download on nin.com in 2008 and labeled "Seed 5", it served as further evidence that Reznor is behind the Definitive Nine Inch Nails series and the Closure leak.

  • Seed 1 – Collected DVD
  • Seed 2 – Definitive NIN - The Singles
  • Seed 3 – Definitive NIN - Deep Cuts
  • Seed 4 – Definitive NIN - Quiet Tracks
  • Seed 5 – Lights in the Sky: Over North America 2008 Tour Sampler EP
