Pulp has seven studio albums to their name
Pulp was formed as a collaboration between Jarvis Cocker and Peter Dalton while they were still studying at the City School in Sheffield, UK. The band's name was inspired by the 1972 British comedy-thriller film Pulp, though they were initially called Arabicus.
The group began performing live shows, starting with the Rotherham Arts Centre and, most memorably, making an appearance at John Peel's Peel Session show. Despite their presence on national radio, the band endured years of hardship, with their early records failing to reach the top of the charts.
The band achieved their first chart breakthrough with their fourth studio album, His 'n' Hers, which was released on April 18, 1994. The album peaked at number nine on the UK album chart.
Following the success of their fourth studio album, Pulp released their fifth studio album, Different Class, on 30 October 1995. The album peaked as a chart-topper on the UK album chart as well as at number 7 on the Swedish album chart.
Pulp achieved critical acclaim with their sixth studio album, This Is Hardcore, which was released on March 30, 1998. The album peaked as a chart-topper on the UK album chart. It also peaked at number nine on the French album chart.
