# America discography

America is an American rock group that has released 23 studio albums, 14 live albums and 23 compilation albums. They have also issued 47 singles, including two Billboard Hot 100 and three Adult Contemporary number ones.
America's best-known song is their 1972 debut single, "A Horse with No Name". It was the lead-off single to their self-titled debut album and became their first number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also a Top 5 hit in the United Kingdom reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, America had charted eleven Top 40 singles in the United States. However, in the 1990s, their popularity began to fade. They have not had a Billboard-charted single in the United States since 1984, though "Young Moon" charted in Germany in 1994, peaking at number 59 on the country's Media Control Charts along with hitting #33 on the Radio & Records AC Airplay Top 40 charts. Additionally, in 1998, "From a Moving Train" charted on the Radio & Records AC Airplay Top 40 chart for six weeks and peaked at number 25, along with being #84 for the year. "Winter Wonderland" peaked on the same chart at number 26 in 2002.
