The discography of American recording artist Ciara consists of three studio albums, one extended play, one DVD, and twenty singles, including seven as a featured artist. Debuting in 2004, with her album, Goodies, the singer was hailed with the honorific title, "The Princess or First Lady of Crunk&B,"[1][2][3][4] her debut album, Goodies spawned three worldwide hits, which included the title track, "1, 2 Step" with rapper Missy Elliot, and "Oh" with rapper Ludacris. The titular track remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 for over a month.[5] The album's fourth single, "And I" achieved little chart success in the United States. Upon release, Goodies debuted at three on the US Billboard 200, and charted in several international music markets. It was subsequently certified multi-Platinum in the United States, Platinum in Canada and Gold in the United Kingdom,[6][7][8] eventually selling five million copies worldwide.[1] Ciara also participated in a number of successful collaborations, including US top five hits "Lose Control", with Missy Elliot, and "Like You" with rapper Bow Wow, as well as the US top ten "So What", a pairing with group Field Mob.

Two years later in 2006, Ciara returned with her sophomore effort, Ciara: The Evolution, which saw her remain consistent to her urban roots, and R&B and hip-hop driven dance while experimenting with old school songs combined with huge pop hooks.[9] Having the similar success that Goodies had, Ciara: The Evolution debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and charting in the top thirty of most international markets, reaching Platinum status in the US,[6] and selling around two million copies worldwide.[10][1] Although it did not contain an international hit as her debut did, the lead single "Get Up" charted in some international markets and was a top ten hit in the US, and the second single, "Promise" was a US R&B chart topper. Top twenty US and moderate international performer "Like a Boy" was also released, as well as "Can't Leave 'Em Alone", featuring rapper 50 Cent. Also during this time, Ciara took part as a featured artist in songs such as Tiffany Evans' "Promise Ring", Nelly's "Stepped on My J'z", which also featured J.D., and she was a part of the Stand Up to Cancer's charity campaign, appearing on the single "Just Stand Up!."

Three years after the second release, Ciara released her third album, Fantasy Ride, while remaining with her trademark R&B and hip-hop sound, the work also went towards a mainstream pop and dance direction, as well as using with soul influences.[11] While it debuted in the top ten of the US, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, the album was notably unsuccessful compared to Ciara's previous albums, lacking certifications, and only selling 193,000 copies in the US over a one year period.[12] Although the album was a commercial disappointment compared ot her previous releases, it spawned the highly successful worldwide top ten hit, "Love Sex Magic", featuring American singer Justin Timberlake. The album's remaining singles, "Like a Surgeon" only reached the lower half of the US R&B chart, whilst "Work" had moderate success in few international markets. Also in 2009, Ciara collaborated with Spanish-American singer Enrique Iglesias on the international top ten hit, "Takin' Back My Love."

Ciara's fourth studio album, Basic Instinct, set for an October 5, 2010 release, will see the singer returning to her urban roots.[13] It will be preceded by the single "Ride" featuring Ludacris. Prior to the release of her third studio album, Ciara sold over seven million albums worldwide,[10] while June 2010, she had sold more 4.3 million albums and 6.9 million digital tracks in the US alone.[12]
