American recording artist Usher has released seven studio albums, one live album, nine compilations, one extended play, and forty-five singles, including twelve as a featured artist. His music has been released on the LaFace, Arista, Jive and RCA record labels. Usher has shipped 22.5 million albums in the US and a combined 65 million records worldwide,[1][2] making him one of the best selling music artists of all time. He has attained nine Hot 100 number-one hits (all as a lead artist) and eighteen Hot 100 top-ten hits.[3] In this discography, music videos are included as well.

In 1994, Usher released his self-titled debut album in the North America region. It produced three singles that attained moderate chart success, and the album sold over 269,000 copies.[4] His follow-up album, My Way, achieved international success selling seven million copies worldwide,[5] becoming his break-through album. It was certified six-times platinum,[6] and produced three successful singles, including his first US number-one hit "Nice & Slow". His success continued in 2001 with his third studio album, 8701; it debuted at number-four on the Billboard 200.[7] The album produced two number-one singles—"U Remind Me" and "U Got It Bad". It sold over 4.7 million copies in the US,[8] and was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[6] It exceeded its predecessors' worldwide sales, selling eight million copies.[9]

Usher's success was bolstered with the release of his fourth studio album, Confessions. It was his first US number-one album, and sold 1.1 million copies in its first week which is the highest first week sales for an R&B artist in history.[10] It spawned a record breaking four consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits—"Yeah!", "Burn", "Confessions Part II", and "My Boo". Each single accumulated to a total of 28 weeks on top, making Usher the first act to have achieved such an extended chart run on the Hot 100. "Yeah!" and "Burn" replaced each other at top on the Billboard Hot 100,[11] stayed at the top for a combined total of 20 weeks[11] and became the best-selling singles of 2004.[11] Confessions received a diamond certification from the RIAA,[6] and sold over 20 million copies worldwide.[5] It was ranked as the top solo album and second most successful album of the 2000 decade.[12]

In 2008, Usher issued his fifth studio album Here I Stand. Its lead single "Love in This Club" topped both the New Zealand Singles Chart and the Hot 100, marking Usher's eighth number-one hit on the former chart. Follow-up singles did not receive the same success with "Love in This Club Part II" becoming a top-20 hit, while the singles "Trading Places" and "Moving Mountains" charted below the top-40. The album contained more mature, adult-oriented themes which led to it achieving less success with sales compared to his previous efforts; it was deemed as a commercial failure relative to Confessions, which had sold nineteen million copies worldwide compared to Here I Stand's two million during the same period.[13][14] The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold 1.5 million copies in the US to date.[6][15]

Usher released Raymond v. Raymond in 2010, and it became his third consecutive number-one album.[16] The album was preceded by five singles; its three US singles, "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)", "Lil Freak" and "There Goes My Baby", peaked in the top 25, 40 and 25 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album's two international singles, "OMG" and "More", achieved worldwide success, with the latter topping the Canadian Hot 100 and "OMG" topping the Hot 100. Raymond v. Raymond has been certified platinum by the RIAA,[6] and sold 1.3 million copies in the US since its release.[17] During the same year, a follow-up set entitled Versus was released; it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200,[18] becoming his sixth top-ten album.[19] The EP's lead and mainstream single, "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" achieved success, reaching the top ten in several countries, while the second single "Hot Tottie" became a top-thirty hit on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, Usher was featured in numerous singles including the David Guetta produced "Without You"; the single was certified platinum and peaked in the top-ten in multiple countries. Usher also worked with Dominican-American singer Romeo Santos; both artists spawned the Billboard hit "Promise".
