This is the discography for American synthpop artist Owl City.

In 2007, Owl City released an extended play entitled Of June on September 8 of that year. Although no single was ever released from it, the EP managed to chart on the US Billboard Top Electronic Albums (now Dance/Electronic Albums). At this time, Adam Young was unsigned and the EP was self-released.

Young's debut studio album, Maybe I'm Dreaming, was released on March 17, 2008. It, too, was self-released and proved more success than Of June. The album reached number 13 on the Top Electronic Albums. At the time, no single was ever released to radio.

In 2009, Owl City found success on the major charts. The first single from his second album, "Fireflies", became a number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100. While the single was climbing the charts, the album, Ocean Eyes, was released on July 14, 2009, where it debuted and peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200. It also peaked at number one on the Dance/Electronic Albums and on the Top Rock Albums, both of which are issued from Billboard magazine. The week that "Fireflies" reached number one, the album's second single, "Vanilla Twilight", debuted at number 95 on the Hot 100. "Umbrella Beach", the album's third single, peaked at number 12 on the UK Dance Chart.[1]

Aside from Young's songs under the project Owl City, he also produced and still produces music under the guise of a range of different project names.[2]
