After Collins left the band in 1996, the group released one more album, Calling All Stations, before disbanding. They became more commercially successful in the 1980s and began to have hit singles, reaching a peak in with 1986's Invisible Touch and 1991's We Can't Dance which both topped the UK charts. Hackett left in 1977, reducing the group to a trio of Banks, Rutherford and Collins.
The group survived Gabriel's departure in 1975, releasing the top three album A Trick of the Tail the following year with Collins also becoming lead singer. The group established commercial success in the UK with Foxtrot (1972), and with the following year's Selling England by the Pound charting at No. 3. The line-up stabilised in 1971 after Steve Hackett replaced Phillips and Phil Collins joined as a drummer. From then to 1974, Genesis released a studio album around once a year. Following the failure of the first few singles, and an album, From Genesis to Revelation, the group split from King in 1969, signing with Charisma Records the following year. They attracted the interest of former pupil Jonathan King, who signed them to a contract in 1967. Genesis were formed by frontman Peter Gabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist / guitarist Mike Rutherford, guitarist Anthony Phillips and classmate Chris Stewart as their first drummer at the British public school Charterhouse School, where they drew on contemporary pop, soul, classical and church music influences to write their own songs. They have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, including around 21.5 million RIAA-certified albums in the United States The discography of the British band Genesis contains 15 studio albums, six live albums, three compilation albums, and a variety of box sets.
