The discography of R&B and pop recording artist Jordin Sparks, consists of two studio albums, nine singles, two of which she performs as the featured artist and ten music videos. At the age of seventeen, she won the sixth season of American Idol, earning a record deal with Jive Records.[1] The season's coronation song, "This Is My Now", peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100.[2]

Later in 2007, she released her self-titled debut studio album. The album was a commercial success, selling over a million copies in the United States.[3] It debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200[4] and certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.[5] The album received gold certifications in Australia,[6] Canada[7] and the United Kingdom.[8] Jordin Sparks spawned three hit singles. "Tattoo", the first single from the album, became Sparks' first top ten hit in the United States,[2] Australia[9] and Canada.[2] The second single, "No Air", a duet with Chris Brown, became Sparks' best-charting single, peaking at number one in Australia[9] and New Zealand,[10] and being certified platinum in both countries.[11][12] The album's third single, "One Step at a Time", peaked at number two in the New Zealand Singles Chart and was certified gold by the RIANZ.[12]

Sparks' released her second studio album, Battlefield in July 2009. While it debuted in the top ten of the US and Canada,[4] the album was notably unsuccessful compared to Jordin's debut, only selling 177,000 copies in the US[3] and having failed to earn any chart certificates. However, it featured the moderately successful title track, which peaked inside the top ten in five countries. The second single, "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)", became Sparks' first number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[2] A third single, "Don't Let It Go to Your Head", was released only in the UK but did not chart. During this time, Sparks' recorded the duet, "Art of Love", with Australian artist Guy Sebastian, taken from his fifth studio album, Like It Like That. The song peaked in the top ten in Australia[9] and New Zealand[10] and certified platinum by the ARIA.[13]
