The discography of Chris Brown, an American singer, occasional rapper and actor, consists of three studio albums and thirteen singles (including soundtrack singles and featured performer). Brown made his recording debut in late 2005 with Chris Brown at the age of 16.

Chris Brown made his debut with his self-titled album, which was released in November 2005. It spawned the US number one single, "Run It!", which topped charts for five consecutive weeks and also peaked at number one in Australia and New Zealand. It also included the US hits, "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)", "Gimme That", and "Say Goodbye". The album has been certified two times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, selling over two million copies in the US and three million worldwide.

Chris Brown's second album, Exclusive, was released in November 2007. The single produced the US number one single, "Kiss Kiss", which topped charts for three consecutive weeks. It also included the hit single, "With You", with both peaking at number one in New Zealand. Following the albumms re-release in September 2008, it spawned another single, "Forever", which peaked at number one in Australia and New Zealand. The album has been certified platinum by the RIAA, selling over one million copies in the US and three million worldwide. Brown released his third album, Graffiti, in December 2009.

In addition to his solo commercial success, Brown has been featured on several hits such as "No Air", a duet with singer Jordin Sparks, "Shortie like Mine" with the rapper Bow Wow and "Shawty Get Loose" alongside Lil Mama and T-Pain. The songs have peaked on number three, number nine and number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively.[1][2][3] Due to his dance routines, Brown has been compared to renowned R&B artists such as Usher and Michael Jackson, citing both as large influences on his music.[4]
