The discography of Geri Halliwell, an English pop music singer, consists of three studio albums, nine singles, and ten music videos. Halliwell debuted in 1996 as a member of the girl group the Spice Girls (see Spice Girls discography). The group achieved worldwide success, producing nine number one singles in the United Kingdom and selling over 60 million records.[1] Halliwell left the group in May 1998 due to "differences between band members".[2]

She released her solo debut album Schizophonic in June 1999. The album, composed of pop, dance and jazz songs,[3] reached number four on the UK albums chart.[4] It was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and produced three number one singles.[4][5] In the United States, the album reached number forty-two on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[6][7] Scream if You Wanna Go Faster, Halliwell's second album, was released in May 2001. It reached number five in the UK and produced three top ten singles.[4] Her third album Passion, released in June 2005, was composed largely of ballads.[8] The album reached number forty-one in the UK and produced two singles.[4]

In 2007, Halliwell reunited with the Spice Girls for a world tour and to release a greatest hits album.[9] The following year, Halliwell announced that she has no current plans to work in the recording industry, choosing instead to focus on writing children books.[10]
