The discography of M.I.A., a British singer, rapper and producer, consists of three studio albums, two mixtapes, eight extended plays and twenty-one singles. M.I.A. (Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam) began her career as a visual artist and film-maker, and moved into making music after filming a documentary on the band Elastica in 2001.[1] The band's lead singer, Justine Frischmann, lent her a Roland MC-505 sequencer/drum machine which she used to make a demo tape that secured her a contract with British label XL Recordings.[2][3]

M.I.A.'s first album, Arular, was initially scheduled to be released in September 2004, but the release was delayed by six months due to problems with the clearance of samples used in the songs.[4][5] She released two singles and a mixtape in the interim.[6][7] Although the album had limited commercial success, it was highly regarded by music critics for its blending of genres such as grime, hip hop, ragga and Brazilian baile funk, and for its politicised lyrics.[8][9][10] Music magazines in the United States and Europe included it in lists of the best albums of the year, and it was nominated for the Mercury Prize in the United Kingdom.[11]

Her second album, Kala, was released in 2007 along with the single "Boyz" and was also praised by critics, drawing more extensively from African, Tamil and Caribbean music. It proved much more commercially successful than her debut, reaching number 18 on the Billboard 200 chart in the US and entering the top 40 of the UK Albums Chart.[12][13] "Paper Planes", a track from this album, proved to be M.I.A.'s breakthrough hit and was nominated for Record of the Year at the 51st Grammy Awards.[14] The song appeared on the soundtrack of the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire along with "O... Saya", a song written specifically for the film by M.I.A. and A. R. Rahman. This song, which appears on the film's soundtrack album but not on an M.I.A. studio album, was released on M.I.A.'s own label N.E.E.T. and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 81st Academy Awards.[15] Her third album, Maya, was released in 2010 and reached the top ten in numerous countries worldwide.
