}}This is the discography of Soft Cell, a British synthpop duo consisting of Marc Almond and Dave Ball who rose to prominence in the early 1980s. The duo broke up in 1984 after releasing four albums, but reunited in the early 2000s for a series of live dates and released an album of new material in 2002. The group re-united again in 2018 for a final farewell concert[1], accompanied by a host of musical and video releases, including a career-spanning box set[2] and brand new single.[3] Studio albums| Year | Album Information | Chart positions | Certifications
