Formed in Teignmouth, Devon, in 1994, Muse signed with Taste Media and released their debut album, Showbiz, in 1999.[1] It was a success across Europe, and in the UK reached number 29 on the UK Albums Chart,[2] and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[3] Five singles were released from Showbiz, with final, "Unintended", becoming Muse's first to reach the top 20 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] Muse released their second album, Origin of Symmetry, in 2001, which reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified double platinum by the BPI.[2][3] The first three singles, "Plug In Baby", "New Born" and "Bliss", all reached the UK top 25.[4]
In 2002, Muse released their first live video album, Hullabaloo: Live at Le Zenith, Paris, and the compilation album Hullabaloo Soundtrack.[1] The video reached number 2 on the UK Music Video Chart,[5] while the soundtrack album reached number 10 on the UK Albums Chart.[2] Their third studio album, Absolution, released on East West Records in 2003, was the first Muse album to top the UK Albums Chart.[2] It reached number 103 on the US Billboard 200,[6] but has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[7] "Time Is Running Out" was the first Muse single to enter the UK Singles Chart top ten, reaching number 8.[4] The live video Absolution Tour reached number 9 on the UK Music Video Chart.[8]
After founding their own label, Helium-3, and signing with Warner Bros. Records, Muse released their fourth studio album, Black Holes and Revelations in 2006. It topped several albums charts and reached the top ten on the Billboard 200.[6] The lead single, "Supermassive Black Hole", is Muse's most successful on the UK Singles Chart to date, reaching number 4.[4] Muse's first live album, HAARP, was released in 2008 and reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart.[2] The Resistance followed in 2009, topping several countries' album charts for the first time, as well as reaching number 3 in the US.[6] The first single from the album, "Uprising", was the band's first to reach the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100,[9] as well as their fourth to reach the top ten in the UK.[4] The 2nd Law and Drones both topped the UK Albums Chart,[2] and Drones was Muse's first release to reach number one on the Billboard 200.[6] Simulation Theory and Will of the People were released in 2018 and 2022, respectively, with the latter marking Muse's seventh consecutive album to reach number one on the UK charts.
