American rock musician Kid Rock has released 12 studio albums, two compilation albums, three extended plays and one live album. His debut album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, was released by Jive Records in 1990. Following its release, Kid Rock was dropped and shuffled between an independent artist and label-signed for most of the 1990s until he created his own Top Dog label and released his mainstream debut album, Devil Without a Cause, on August 18, 1998, via Atlantic Records. The album was certified diamond by the RIAA and sold 11 million copies in the United States. From 1999 to 2000 he produced two major Billboard "Hot 100" hits: "Cowboy" and "Only God Knows Why".
He crossed over to the country charts in 2003 with "Picture", a duet with Sheryl Crow. Cocky was released in 2001 as the follow-up to Devil Without a Cause and sold 5 million copies, followed by 2003's Kid Rock and 2006's Live Trucker. Live Trucker was Kid Rock's first live release, going Gold and selling over 600,000 copies. In 2007, Kid Rock made his comeback with Rock n Roll Jesus, which was certified triple platinum. In 2008, Kid Rock had his biggest hit to date with "All Summer Long". It reached number 1 in eight countries and hit number 23 in the United States. Born Free was released in 2010 and went platinum.
Kid Rock has sold 25 million albums in the US as of December 2013, and over 35 million worldwide.
