The discography of Billie Piper, an English pop music singer, consists of two studio albums, one compilation album, and eight singles. Billie Piper debuted in the early 1990s as an actress, appearing in several television advertisements. She signed a recording contract with Innocent Records, a subsidiary of Virgin Records, in 1998.[1]

Piper's debut studio album, Honey to the B, was released in May 1999. The album, which contained upbeat dance-pop songs,[2] was certified platinum in the United Kingdom.[3] Her debut single "Because We Want To" reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and Piper became the youngest artist to release a number one single in over forty years.[4] Piper's second album, Walk of Life, was released in October 2000, and was certified silver.[3] It produced two top five singles. In 2003, Piper retired from the recording industry, choosing instead to focus on acting.[5]
