This is a detailed discography for American singer and songwriter Conway Twitty; he released 58 studio albums during his life.
Beginning his studio album journey in the late 1950s with releases such as "Conway Twitty Sings" and "Saturday Night with Conway Twitty," Twitty's early work primarily explored the rockabilly genre. As the 1960s progressed, his musical direction shifted, marking his foray into country music, where he found success and recognition. Albums like "Next in Line" and "Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie" from this era began charting, highlighting his influence in the country genre.[1]
The 1970s heralded Twitty's golden era in country music, with albums like "Hello Darlin'," "Fifteen Years Ago," and "You've Never Been This Far Before" not only achieving high chart positions but earning RIAA certifications, including Gold records. By the late 1970s, Twitty shifted to a country pop style.[2] His ability to churn out hits continued into the 1980s and 90s, with albums such as "Heart & Soul," "Rest Your Love on Me," and "Crazy in Love," cementing his status as a country music stalwart.
Twitty's contributions were also captured through compilations, singles, and promotional materials, including celebrated tracks like "It's Only Make Believe" and collaborations.
