The discography of American singer Adam Lambert consists of one studio album, two digital albums, five singles and four music videos.

After Lambert's coming in second place in American Idol, Rufftown Recordings released a demo album of song recordings made prior to his being on American Idol. The album, Take One, was released on November 17, 2009. It debuted and peaked on the Billboard 200 at #72, and to date has sold over 40,000 copies in the United States. Lambert's mainstream debut album, For Your Entertainment, was released one week after Take One, on November 23, 2009, via RCA Records. It features the lead-song from the 2012 film, and is also available on the film's soundtrack as well. To date, the album has been certified Platinum in Canada, Platinum in New Zealand.

The album's official single, its title track "For Your Entertainment", was then released. The song failed to significantly impact the Billboard Hot 100, only charting to #61. However, it has become a Top 5 single on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart and has been more successful internationally - being a Top 10 single in both New Zealand and Finland. The song was also certified Platinum in Canada.[1] The next single released, "Whataya Want from Me", has become the highest charting single from the album and Lambert's most successful single thus far, peaking at #10 on Billboard Hot 100, and has experienced international success. The third single release was "If I Had You", which became another hit single, both in the States and in some internationl markets. For the fourth single, "Fever", a song co-written by Lady Gaga was released in October and November respectively to New Zealand and Singapore. The early radio release in New Zealand was to help promote the Glam Nation Tour which was extended to Australia during the final quarter of 2010.[2] Other fourth singles that have been released in November are "Aftermath" and "Sleepwalker", to Finland and Canada respectively. However, no new single has yet been released to the United Kingdom or Billboard in the United States.
