The American rock band Alice in Chains has released six studio albums, three extended plays (EP), three live albums, five compilation albums, four video albums, 44 music videos, and 34 singles. Alice in Chains was formed in 1987 by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, who then recruited bassist Mike Starr and singer Layne Staley. The band signed to Columbia Records in 1989 and released its first EP, We Die Young, in July 1990. Later that year, the band released its debut studio album, Facelift. The single "Man in the Box", which reached number 18 on the Mainstream Rock chart, helped Facelift achieve double Platinum status. The band toured in support of the album for two years before releasing the acoustic EP Sap in early 1992.
