Fairuz discography
The discography of Fairuz includes a large repertoire of more than 1500 songs out of which nearly 800 songs were released. Fairuz has sold more than 150 million records world wide.
Around 85 Fairuz CDs, records and cassettes have been officially released so far. Most of the songs that are featured on these albums were composed by the Rahbani brothers. Also featured are songs by Sayed Darwish, Ziad Rahbani, Zaki Nassif, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Philémon Wehbé, Najib Hankash and Mohamed Mohsen.
Fairuz's unreleased works are very abundant. Most of them date back to the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s and were composed by the Rahbani Brothers (certain unreleased songs, the oldest of all, are by Halim El Roumi). A remarkable Fairuz album composed by Egyptian musician Riad Al Sunbati (who has worked with Umm Kulthum) was produced in the 1980s and is yet to be released. It is also thought that there are fifteen unreleased songs composed by Philemon Wehbe.
