This is the discography of English singer Frankie Vaughan. It contains 17 studio albums, multiple compilation albums, 85 singles and other charted songs. His debut single was "Daddy's Little Girl" in 1950, but it would be in 1953 when he hit the charts. His recording of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" hit No. 11 in the United Kingdom. Vaughan had several other top-20 singles in the following years, and eventually in 1957 he topped the British charts with "The Garden of Eden". That year, he gained three other top-10 singles.
In 1958 Vaughan hit the Canadian and United States charts the only time in his career. His recording of "Judy" reached No. 35 in Canada and No. 100 in the United States, but during this time his singles continued reaching the top-40 in the UK. In 1961, he topped the UK charts again with "Tower of Strength". The song also topped the Irish charts and marked his first time on the Norwegian charts. By 1965, Vaughan's chart performance declined, and in 1966 his only single "Cabaret" barely registered on the charts at No. 51. The next year, Vaughan returned to the top-10 for one last time with "There Must Be a Way", which was his first single for Columbia.
In 1967, two of Vaughan's albums would chart, a compilation The Frankie Vaughan Song Book and a studio album There Must Be a Way. Another two singles hit the top-40 as well: "So Tired" and "Nevertheless". Vaughan's recording frequency slowed and his chart performance declined heavily. The double LP compilation 100 Golden Greats made the charts in 1977, peaking at No. 24 in the UK. It was his final commercially successful release, though multiple other compilations and studio albums were released after it.
