While touring, Starr left the band due to personal reasons and was replaced by Mike Inez. The band did not tour in support of Dirt for very long, due to Staley's drug addiction. The critically acclaimed album, also the band's most successful, debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, and was certified quintuple Platinum. In September 1992, Alice in Chains released Dirt. The band toured in support of the album for two years before releasing the acoustic EP Sap in early 1992. The single ' Man in the Box', which reached number 18 on the Mainstream Rock chart, helped Facelift achieve double Platinum status.

Later that year, the band released its debut studio album, Facelift.

The band signed to Columbia Records in 1989 and released its first EP, We Die Young, in July 1990. The discography of Alice in Chains, a Seattle-based rock band, consists of six studio albums, three extended plays (EP), three live albums, five compilations, two DVDs, 44 music videos, and 32 singles (as of September 2019).Īlice in Chains was formed in 1987 by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, who then recruited bassist Mike Starr and singer Layne Staley.
