They hold the records for most number-one singles (15), most cumulative weeks at number one (91), and most top 10 songs (28) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

The band’s first three studio albums—The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984), Freaky Styley (1985), and The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987)—achieved little commercial success. Their fourth album, Mother's Milk (1989), reached number 52 on the Billboard 200 and marked their breakthrough. With Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), the band entered mainstream success. Its single "Under the Bridge" peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, and the album sold over seven million copies in the United States and 13 million worldwide. Guitarist John Frusciante left in 1992, leading to several replacements before Dave Navarro joined in 1993. Their sixth album, One Hot Minute (1995), peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 but did not match the success of Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Frusciante rejoined in 1998, and the band released Californication (1999), which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and was certified six times Platinum by the RIAA. The album produced six singles, including the Hot 100 top-ten hit "Scar Tissue". Their eighth album, By the Way (2002), reached number two on the Billboard 200 and included successful singles such as "By the Way" and "Can't Stop". Stadium Arcadium (2006), their ninth studio album, became their first to top the Billboard 200. It produced three consecutive number-one hits on the Alternative Songs chart, with "Dani California" spending 14 weeks at number one and reaching number six on the Hot 100.

Frusciante left again in 2009, and in 2010 the band began recording their tenth studio album with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. Released in August 2011, I'm with You peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. Its lead single, "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie", reached number 38 on the Hot 100 and became their 12th number-one on the Alternative Songs chart. The band released their 11th studio album, The Getaway, in June 2016. Produced by Danger Mouse, it was their first album without Rick Rubin since 1989 and their last with Klinghoffer. The lead single "Dark Necessities" became their 13th number-one on the Alternative Songs chart and their 25th top-ten entry, extending their record over U2. It also became only the fourth song to top the Mainstream Rock, Alternative Songs, and Adult Alternative charts simultaneously. The Getaway debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, becoming their seventh consecutive album to chart within the top four since Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991).

In December 2019, the band announced that Klinghoffer had departed and John Frusciante had rejoined. Their 12th studio album, Unlimited Love, was released on April 1, 2022. It debuted at number one in 10 countries, including the United States, their first U.S. number-one since Stadium Arcadium (2006). The lead single "Black Summer" debuted at number three, later becoming their 14th number-one and 26th top-ten on the Alternative Songs chart, giving them number-one singles in four different decades, tied with Green Day. The band’s 13th studio album, Return of the Dream Canteen, was released on October 14, 2022. Its lead single "Tippa My Tongue" became their fourth number-one on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart and their 15th number-one on the Alternative Airplay chart. The second single, "The Drummer," reached number 10, becoming their 28th top-ten entry on the Alternative Airplay chart, a record they share with the Foo Fighters.
