Throughout his career, he has earned a long list of hit albums and singles including his breakthrough release Al Green Gets Next To You in 1971 featuring “Tired of Being Alone,” which was Top Ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and 1972’s Let’s Stay Together which reached No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart and No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with the title track hitting No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts concurrently.

In the 80s, the Reverend Al Green returned to the music he was raised on, and for the next decade, he focused on Gospel music. His first Gospel album, The Lord Will Make A Way, was the album that resulted in the first Grammy® of his career.  His fans followed his new path, and he continued his chart success with 1983’s I’ll Rise Again, which hit No. 4 on the Top Gospel Albums chart, and two Top 10s in the Top Gospel Album chart with 1984’s Trust In God and 1987’s Soul Survivor, which reached No. 1.  

His return to pop music with I Can’t Stop (2003) and 2008’s Lay It Down, put Green back on the pop charts with a No. 9 and No. 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
