The American actor, animator, filmmaker, and singer Seth MacFarlane has released eight studio albums, one extended play, one soundtrack album, and eleven singles (including two as a featured artist). He has also contributed numerous songs to his projects, such as Family Guy, American Dad!, and Ted. In 2005, he served as a producer for the Family Guy soundtrack Live in Vegas,[1] which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.[2]
MacFarlane signed a record deal with Universal Republic Records in 2011[3] and released his debut studio album Music Is Better Than Words in September of the following year.[4] The album received positive reviews and reached 111 on the US Billboard 200 chart;[5] in addition, it received two Grammy nominations for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.[6] In September 2014, MacFarlane released his second studio album, and first Christmas-themed album, Holiday for Swing,[7][8] which reached 51 on the Billboard 200.[5] MacFarlane released his third studio album, No One Ever Tells You, the following September;[9][10][11] the album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[12]
In 2016, he made a guest appearance on Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, a studio album by the actress and singer Barbra Streisand; they performed "Pure Imagination" as a duet.[13] A year later, MacFarlane released his fourth studio album, In Full Swing.[14] The album received two nominations at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals.[15] His fifth studio album, Once in a While, was released in 2019.[16]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, MacFarlane and the actress and singer Elizabeth Gillies collaborated on eight songs on an extended playlist entitled Songs from Home.[17][18] He released his sixth studio album, Great Songs from Stage & Screen in August 2020.[19] Like his previous four albums, he recorded a majority of the songs at Abbey Road Studios, but much of the album's post-production work was done at home due to the pandemic.[20] MacFarlane released his seventh studio album, Blue Skies, in May 2022,[21] and MacFarlane and Gillies released their Christmas album We Wish You the Merriest in November 2023.[22]
