* With Alice Glass as singer, Music/CrystalCastles released a self-titled album, followed by ''II'' and ''III''. Alice's first full album after departing from the group was ''Prey//IV'', with the subtitle being a reference to the previous Crystal Castles albums. Meanwhile, Crystal Castles' first album with Edith Frances on vocals was titled ''Amnesty (I)'', with the subtitle indicating it being a new era for the band.

* Ella Henderson - ''Chapter One''

* Music/TheBeeGees – ''Bee Gees' 1st'' [[note]]Technically their third album, but this was their first international release. The first two albums were released only in Australia and are considered CanonDiscontinuity.[[/note]]

* Almost every album by Music/{{Chicago|Band}} is simply titled with the band's name followed by the number. Averted with ''Chicago 2'', which is actually a FanNickname. The band shortened their name from "Chicago Transit Authority" to "Chicago" between their first and second albums, and these are both [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] according to the band's name at the time.

* Music/{{Danzig}} did this for several years. After their first SelfTitledAlbum, their next six studio albums were all numbered in various ways: ''Danzig II:Lucifuge'', ''Danzig III:How the Gods Kill'', ''Danzig 4'', ''Danzig 5:BlackAcidDevil'', 6:66 Satan's Child'', and finally ''Danzig 777:I Luciferi''. Following that, they abandoned the numbering with their subsequent albums, starting with ''Circle of Snakes''

* Music/{{Santana}} – ''Santana III''[[note]]Possibly officially just titled ''Santana''. But everyone says ''Santana III'' to avoid confusion with their ''first'' album, which was also just named ''Santana''.[[/note]]
* Music/YngwieMalmsteen – ''Trilogy''
* Music/{{Slipknot}} – ''Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)'', casting their demo ''Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat'' into CanonDiscontinuity.
* Music/StinkingLizaveta – ''III''
* ''Music/BillyTalent III''
* Music/GaelicStorm – ''Tree'' (as in, three-in-an-Irish-accent)

* Joe Nichols – ''III'' (actually his fourth album, but his obscure, independent first album is CanonDiscontinuity)

* Music/{{Sugababes}} – ''Three''

* Music/MarcyPlayground – ''[=MP3=]'' (also something of a PunBasedTitle, because, you know, UsefulNotes/MP3)
* Music/{{Portishead}} – ''Third''
* Music/BigStar – ''Third/Sister Lovers''
* Shiny Toy Guns – ''III''

* Sash! – ''Trilenium''

* Music/{{Adele}}'s studio albums are named ''19'', ''21'' and ''25'', for the ages she was when she started recording them.

* Joe Nichols - ''III''[[note]]Actually his fourth album, indicating that his 1996 SelfTitledAlbum is CanonDiscontinuity[[/note]]

* Cat Stevens – ''Catch Bull at Four'' (Actually his sixth album but, by pure coincidence, his fourth with both Island Records and A&M Records) [[note]]Bonus: "Changes IV" is the fourth track of his fifth album, ''Teaser and the Firecat''.[[/note]]

* Music/SteamPoweredGiraffe - ''The 2¢ Show''

* Almost every album by Music/{{Chicago}} is simply titled with the band's name followed by the number.
** Averted with ''Chicago 2'', which is actually a FanNickname. The band shortened their name from "Chicago Transit Authority" to "Chicago" between their first and second albums, and these are both [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] according to the band's name at the time.

* Music/CamperVanBeethoven – ''II & III''. The title is something of a joke, although the band have commented that because it was recorded over two different stretches of time in the same year, they think of it as both their second ''and'' third album.

* Ghost Of Vroom's first official release was the 2020 EP ''Ghost Of Vroom 2'', followed by the full length album ''Ghost Of Vroom 1'' the next year - the album was completed first, but the band held off its release for a year in the hopes concert venues would start opening again after the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic

* Ghost Of Vroom's first official release was an EP titled ''Ghost Of Vroom 2'' - [[Music/SoulCoughing Mike Doughty]] has explained this is because the band recorded a full album's worth of material before the EP, but held off on releasing it until they could support it with a tour (with most concert venues in the US being closed due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic)

* Music/{{Marillion}} – ''Radiat10n''

* HAIM - ''Women In Music Pt. III'' [[note]]their third album overall, but there's technically no "Women In Music Pt. II'' or ''Women In Music Pt. I''[[/note]]

* Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass – ''Alpert's Ninth''

* {{Doujin}} group Music/{{IOSYS}} has a StealthPun version of this trope: Their ninth VideoGame/{{Touhou}} arrange album is ''Touhou Hyousetsu Kashuu'', an album devoted completely to the {{leitmotif}} of fan-favorite character Cirno. Where does the StealthPun example come in? Cirno is associated with [[{{Memes/Touhou}} the meme "(9)"]].

* Neal [=McCoy=] — ''XII''
