The discography of Britney Spears, an American pop music singer, consists of six studio albums, two compilation albums, twenty-nine singles, six video albums and one extended play on Jive Records.[1]

In 1997, Spears signed a recording contract with Jive and released her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time, in January 1999. The album opened at number one on the Billboard 200[2] and went on to be certified fourteen-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America[3] and three-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[4] It features the global hit single "...Baby One More Time", which notably topped the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Charts[5] and is one of the best-selling records of all time in Britain,[6] and the British number-one hit "Born to Make You Happy".[7]

Sixteen months later after the release of ...Baby One More Time, Spears released her sophomore named Oops!... I Did It Again, which became the fastest-selling album ever by a female act in the U.S. with over 1.3 million copies sold in its opening week[8] and was certified ten-times platinum by the RIAA[3] and three-times platinum by the BPI.[4] The album produced three hit singles: her third UK number-one "Oops!... I Did It Again",[9] "Lucky" and "Stronger". In November 2001, Spears released her self-titled album, which opened at the top of the Billboard 200[10] and yielded six singles. Two years later her multi-platinum selling album In the Zone was released and produced three major hit singles: "Me Against the Music", a duet with Madonna, "Toxic", which earned Spears her first Grammy Award,[11] and "Everytime", her latest UK number-one hit as of 2009.[12]

After four studio albums, Spears released her first hits compilation in November 2004. The collection debuted at number-one on the Oricon charts[13] and became her best-selling album in Japan.[2] In October 2007, Spears' highly anticipated fifth studio album, Blackout, was released. It opened at number-two on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart[2] and features the hit singles "Gimme More" and "Piece of Me". One year later, Circus, her sixth studio album, made Spears the only act in the Nielsen SoundScan era, 1991-present, to have four albums debut with 500,000 or more copies sold in the U.S.[14]

According to Zomba Label Group and Sony BMG, as of late 2007 Spears has sold over 115.6 million records worldwide.[15][16] In addition, she is ranked as the eighth best-selling female recording artist in the U.S. with 32 million sold albums certified by the RIAA,[17] and is currently the fifth best-selling act, as well as the highest-selling female, of the decade in the country.[18]
