The discography of British singer-songwriter RJ Thompson consists of three studio albums, two live albums, one demo album, three extended plays and twenty-two singles.[1]
His first releases, under his original name Richard John Thompson, were described by RJ as "a collections of demos". This included the 11-track Illogical Life, which was released on the iTunes Store on 10 July 2006[2], the 2007 Acoustic Sessions EP[3] and the 2011The Cognitive Rules EP. The EP was mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road Studios.[4][5]
In 2014, RJ shortened his stage name to avoid confusion with the famous folk singer Richard Thompson. His first official release as RJ Thompson was the single "The Numbers", which also featured a cover of Jimmy Webb's "Highwayman" as a B-side,[6]. The House Upon the Hill EP followed on 24 November 2014 (mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios).[7][8] Thompson returned with his live album, simply titled Live, on 4 July 2016.
In November 2017, Thompson released his first official studio album, Echo Chamber.
In October 2020, Thompson released his second studio album Lifeline. In March 2021, the album received a physical release, after which the album placed at number five on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the UK Album Downloads Chart.[9][10]
In October 2022, Thompson released his third studio album Yearbook. The album went on to land at number forty on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the UK Album Downloads Chart.[11][12]
