# Per Gessle discography

Swedish singer-songwriter Per Gessle has released fourteen studio albums (including one as Son of a Plumber, one as Mono Mind, and one as PG Roxette), four live albums, three compilation albums, one collaborative album, three box sets, six demo albums, one soundtrack album, two EPs and three video albums. He also released 53 singles, including two as a featured artist, one as Peter Pop and the Helicopters, one as Rita & the Rip-Off!, eight as Mono Mind and seven as PG Roxette.
Best known internationally as the main songwriter and co-lead vocalist of Swedish pop music duo Roxette, Gessle was originally the lead vocalist and guitarist of Swedish pop rock band Gyllene Tider, who released three studio albums from 1980 to 1982. His debut solo album, Per Gessle, was released in 1983 and peaked within the top five of Swedish Albums Chart. This was followed in 1985 by Scener, which under-performed commercially, selling approximately 20,000 copies in Sweden. Gessle later revealed he was at risk of being dropped by EMI as a result of the commercial performance of Scener.
The following year, Gessle formed Roxette with Swedish vocalist Marie Fredriksson, and achieved substantial international success over the next decade. Roxette have sold an estimated 75-80 million records worldwide, and had four number ones on the Billboard Hot 100. Roxette's commercial breakthrough coincided with a period of solo inactivity for Gessle, eventually releasing his third solo album, The World According to Gessle, in 1997. Gessle resumed solo activity following Fredriksson's brain tumour diagnosis in 2002, releasing his most successful solo record, Mazarin, in 2003. The album was certified quintuple platinum in Sweden, where lead single "Här kommer alla känslorna (på en och samma gång)" spent eight weeks at number one. En händig man and Party Crasher were released in 2007 and 2008 respectively, and were both preceded by number one singles in Sweden.
Gessle resumed solo activity following Fredriksson's retirement from touring in 2016, releasing En vacker natt and En vacker dag in 2017, Small Town Talk in 2018, Gammal kärlek rostar aldrig in 2020 and Sällskapssjuk in 2024. He has also released music under the aliases Son of a Plumber, Mono Mind, and PG Roxette, with the latter being a continuation of Roxette following Fredriksson's death in 2019.
