There was a question about this a few years back on the old official message board.
There was no definitive answer in the end because no one could decide if it included extended mixes, re-recordings, radio edits, live tracks or whatever.
Back then, I did a quick calculation from my iTunes account, which has pretty much everything official on it, and it threw up somewhere in the region of 800+ tracks which were all different to each other in some way (I think!). But that was before Backbone and even before Bula Quo because it was before the old message board closed down. We've had a lot of live stuff in particular since then as well as the Aquostic projects.
Be interesting to do the exercise again 👍

Why not count each song only once? Who cares about the remixes, rerecordings, aquostics, ...

I did a script to count the files I have and to attempt to filter duplicates (that includes filtering out remixes and alternative takes). I did not filter live tracks they covered. I did not filter cover tracks they recorded in studio.
Total count was 495. In reality, it will be slightly less than that.

And I thought they only really ever wrote ONE song? That must have been In The Army Now, right?  (scurries away, ducking) |

I think if we were to consider only their own compositions (and maybe covers) and only one version of each, that would drop the numbers considerably. Maybe even by half when you think of the sheer amount of live stuff that's been released in the last 15 years or so. But the question was "how many tracks?". So, the live versions of Caroline from, say, Live at the NEC and Pictures Live at Ipswich Regent Theatre are different 'tracks'. So, let's say it's anything you want it to be between about 420 and over 1,000. Not that helpful really, is it?  |

Clearly we can't count anything after Live Aid as that's not Status Quo, just some cabaret act using the name.
😁 😈
