This is a list of Deep Purple's singles and album chart entries through the years and around the world, arranged in order of release. The date shown is the first release somewhere in the world, not necessarily the chart entry date. I have also included some unique non-charting releases for interest's sake. I can't fit in all the countries of the world, but if you have any unusual or unique information, I'll be glad to list it here.

Any comments and additional info would be most welcome.
Please contact Brian Currin.
