The members of Muse played in separate school bands during their time at Teignmouth Community College in the early 1990s. Guitarist Matt Bellamy successfully auditioned for drummer Dominic Howard's band, Carnage Mayhem, becoming its singer and songwriter. They renamed the band Gothic Plague. They asked Chris Wolstenholme – at that time the drummer for Fixed Penalty – to join as bassist; he agreed and took up bass lessons. The band was renamed Rocket Baby Dolls and adopted a goth-glam image. Around this time, they received a £150 grant from the Prince's Trust for equipment.
In 1994, Rocket Baby Dolls won a local battle of the bands, smashing their equipment in the process. Bellamy said, "It was supposed to be a protest, a statement, so, when we actually won, it was a real shock, a massive shock. After that, we started taking ourselves seriously." The band quit their jobs, changed their name to Muse, and moved away from Teignmouth. The band liked that the new name was short and thought that it looked good on a poster. According to journalist Mark Beaumont, the band wanted the name to reflect "the sense Matt had that he had somehow 'summoned up' this band, the way mediums could summon up inspirational spirits at times of emotional need".

The discography of Muse, an English rock band, consists of nine studio albums, two live albums, one compilation album, one box set, five extended plays (EPs), 44 singles, two video albums, 61 music videos and four other appearances. Formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1994, the band signed with Taste Media before releasing their debut album Showbiz in 1999. The album was a success across Europe, and in the UK reached number 29 on the UK Albums Chart, as well as being certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Five singles were released from Showbiz, with final release "Unintended" the band's first to reach the top 20 on the UK Singles Chart. Muse released their second album Origin of Symmetry in 2001, which reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified double platinum by the BPI. The album's first three singles, "Plug In Baby", "New Born" and "Bliss", all reached the UK top 25.
In 2002 the band released their first live video album Hullabaloo: Live at Le Zenith, Paris, alongside the tie-in compilation album Hullabaloo Soundtrack. The video reached number 2 on the UK Music Video Chart, while the soundtrack album reached number 10 on the UK Albums Chart. The group's third studio album Absolution, issued on East West Records, was released in 2003 and was the band's first release to top the UK Albums Chart. The album only reached number 103 on the US Billboard 200, but has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Time Is Running Out" was the band's first single to reach the UK Singles Chart top ten, peaking at number 8. Absolution Tour, a live video filmed on the Absolution promotional cycle, reached number 9 on the UK Music Video Chart.
After founding their own label, Helium-3, and signing with Warner Bros. Records, Muse released Black Holes and Revelations in 2006. The album was a commercial success, topping several albums charts and reaching the top ten on the Billboard 200. Lead single "Supermassive Black Hole" is the band's most successful on the UK Singles Chart to date, peaking at number 4. The band's first live album HAARP was released in 2008, reaching number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. The Resistance followed in 2009, topping several countries' album charts for the first time, as well as reaching number 3 in the US. The first single from the album, "Uprising", was the band's first to reach the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as their fourth to reach the top ten in the UK. Muse have continued to enjoy high levels of commercial success in recent years – The 2nd Law and Drones both topped the UK Albums Chart, while the latter was the group's first release to reach number one on the Billboard 200.
