The discography of the Beastie Boys, an American hip hop group, consists of eight studio albums, four compilation albums, five video albums, seven extended plays, forty singles and forty-three music videos.
The group, formed in 1981, consisted of rappers Adam "MCA" Yauch, Michael "Mike D" Diamond (vocals, drums) and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (vocals, guitars), accompanied by turntablist Mix Master Mike. Originally a hardcore punk group, the group's first release, Polly Wog Stew, was released in November 1982. The band made the shift into hip hop music with the single "Cooky Puss" (1983). They later signed to Def Jam Recordings, releasing "Rock Hard" in 1985. Since 1986, the group has released eight studio albums, four of which have topped the Billboard 200 chart. The Beastie Boys have sold 20,384,000 albums in the US as of July 2013.[1]
