Marillion

Singles Discography, 1982-2022

Marillion formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England. This neo-progressive rock band has often been compared to early Genesis. They released their first single in 1982, by which time they only remaining members from the onset of the band were guitarist Steve Rothery and drummer Mick Pointer. Fish was brought in as a vocalist in January 1981, Mark Kelly signed on as the keyboardist in November of that year, and Pete Trewavas became the bassist in March 1982. Ian Mosley replaced Pointer on drums in 1983. When Fish left the band in 1988, he was replaced by singer Steve Hogarth. The lineup has remained consistent since 1989.

This page covers singles released throughout Marillion’s career. Release dates, B-sides, chart information, and parent albums are noted. Three different charts are represented, each marked by a two-letter code: UK (British pop chart), US (United States Billboard Hot 100 pop chart), and AR (United States album rock chart).
