The discography of 50 Cent, an American rapper, consists of four studio albums, sixteen singles, and two DVDs on Interscope Records. Music videos and collaborations are also included.

50 Cent released his commercial debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' in 2003, which included the hit singles "In da Club", "21 Questions", and "P.I.M.P.". The same year, he was granted his own imprint label G-Unit Records. In 2005, he released his second studio album The Massacre, which sold 1.14 million copies in the first four days, breaking his previous record as the highest selling artist in an abbreviated sales cycle.[1] It was the second biggest selling record of the year and it produced three top five singles in the United States; "Candy Shop", "Disco Inferno", and "Just a Lil Bit".[2] In 2007, 50 Cent's third album Curtis debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. He will release his fourth studio album with Interscope Records in 2009, Before I Self Destruct. 50 Cent has sold 25 million albums as of 2008.
