Wonder has had ten US number-one hits on the pop charts , as well as 20 R&B number one hits, and has sold over 100 million records, 19.5 million of which are albums;[ 1] he is one of the top best-selling music artists of all time with combined sales of singles and albums.[ 2] Wonder has 30 main album releases, all of which are single albums, apart from Songs in the Key of Life , which was released as a double album with a bonus four track EP. There are 11 official compilation albums; in addition, a box set, The Complete Stevie Wonder , was released in 2005.

Wonder's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s. His "classic period" began in 1972 with the releases of Music of My Mind and Talking Book , the latter featuring "Superstition ", which is one of the most distinctive and famous examples of the sound of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard. His works Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1976) all won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year , making him the only artist to have won the award with three consecutive album releases. Wonder began his "commercial period" in the 1980s; he achieved his biggest hits and highest level of fame, had increased album sales, charity participation, high-profile collaborations (including with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson ), political impact, and television appearances. Wonder has continued to remain active in music and political causes.
Wonder is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 100 million records worldwide. He has won 25 Grammy Awards (the most by a male solo artist) and one Academy Award (Best Original Song , for the 1984 film The Woman in Red ). Wonder has been inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame , Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame .
