The discography of American rock band Evanescence includes three studio albums, one live album, three extended plays, nine singles, three promotional singles, one video album, and eight music videos. The band has sold more than 20 million records worldwide.[1]
Evanescence was formed in 1995 by singer Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. The band had enjoyed local success until the release of their first major album, Fallen, in 2003. Fallen became a huge commercial success, and spawned the hit singles "Bring Me to Life", "Going Under", and "My Immortal". The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 chart and went on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide.[1] Evanescence won two Grammy Awards (for Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance) in 2004.
Their second album, The Open Door, was released in 2006 and debuted at number one on five national charts, including Billboard 200, with the first single "Call Me When You're Sober". The album also produced minor hits "Lithium", "Sweet Sacrifice", and "Good Enough". It has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.[1]
Evanescence, their third studio album, is going to be released on October 11, 2011. The first single, "What You Want", comes out on August 9, 2011.
