The discography of Britney Spears, an American pop music singer, consists of seven studio albums, three compilation albums, thirty-five singles, two promo singles and six video albums. In 1997, Spears signed a recording contract with Jive and released her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time, in January 1999. The album opened at number one on the Billboard 200 and went on to be certified fourteen-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America[1] and three-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[2] It features the global hit single "...Baby One More Time", which notably topped the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart and is one of the best-selling records of all time in Britain, "(You Drive Me) Crazy" and the British number-one hit "Born to Make You Happy".[3]

Sixteen months later after the release of ...Baby One More Time, Spears released her second album, Oops!... I Did It Again, which became the fastest-selling album ever by a female act in the USA with over 1.3 million copies sold in its opening week[4] and was certified ten-times platinum by the RIAA[1] and three-times platinum by the BPI.[2] The album produced three hit singles: her third British number-one "Oops!... I Did It Again",[3] "Lucky" and "Stronger". In November 2001, Spears released her self-titled album, which opened at the top of the Billboard 200[5] and produced worldwide hit "I'm a Slave 4 U", which is notable for her change of style from bubblegum pop to dance-pop and exploring into urban pop. In the Zone was released and produced major #1 hit singles like "Toxic", which earned Spears her first Grammy Award,[6] "Everytime", her latest British number-one hit as of 2009,[3] Me Against the Music with Madonna and the R. Kelly-produced "Outrageous". It was called by critics as her most adventurous album because of various types of genres.

After four studio albums, Spears released her first hits compilation in November 2004. The collection debuted at number-one on the Oricon charts[7] and became her highest charting album in Japan. In October 2007, Spears' highly anticipated fifth studio album, Blackout, was released. It opened at number-two on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and features the hit songs "Gimme More", "Piece of Me" and "Break the Ice". It was positively received by critics, who praised its innovative and modern sound. One year later, Circus, her sixth studio album, made Spears the only act in the Nielsen SoundScan era, 1991–present, to have four albums debut with 500,000 or more copies sold in the USA[8] and produced worldwide hits "Womanizer", "Circus" and "If U Seek Amy". In late 2009, she released new single "3" which was followed by her second greatest hits album. "3" became her third number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Spears released her seventh studio album Femme Fatale in March 2011.[9] The first single "Hold It Against Me" was released at 11. January 2011, and became her fourth number one single on the Hot 100, and her second to debut at the top.[10]

Spears has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists in the history of contemporary music.[11] In addition, she is ranked as the eighth best-selling female recording artist in the USA with 32 million sold albums certified by the RIAA,[12] and is currently the fifth best-selling act, as well as the highest-selling female, of the decade in the country.[13] Spears also is the world's most successful teenager recording artist with over 37 million albums sold worldwide before she turned 20, with only 2 years of releasing music.[14]
