The discography of Guy Sebastian, an Australian singer-songwriter, consists of seven studio albums, one compilation album, one live album, two EPs and 26 singles, including two as a featured artist and three charity singles. Sebastian won the first series of Australian Idol in 2003, and gained a record deal with Sony BMG. He has released eight albums which peaked in the top six of the ARIA Charts, including two which reached number one.[1] The first seven achieved either platinum or multi-platinum certification.[2] He has also released seventeen top twenty singles in Australia, with twelve reaching the top ten, including six number ones.[1] Sebastian is the only Australian male artist in Australian chart history to achieve six number-one singles, and is third overall for all Australian acts with only Kylie Minogue and Delta Goodrem having achieved more.[3] He has also reached the top ten of the New Zealand charts with an album and six singles, including two number ones.[4] Sebastian has fifty-one platinum and four gold certifications in Australia, the highest number for an Australian Idol contestant.[2][5] "Battle Scars", a collaboration with Lupe Fiasco, spent 20 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 71 and achieving platinum certification.[6][7] It also reached number two in Norway.[8]

Sebastian's debut single "Angels Brought Me Here" and album Just as I Am both reached number one on the ARIA charts.[1] "Angels Brought Me Here" was the highest selling song in Australia last decade.[9] The first week sales of 163,711 for Just as I Am were at the time the highest one-week sales ever achieved in Australia, and have since only been surpassed by Susan Boyle's debut album in 2009.[10][11] With eventual sales of 480,000, just short of 7× platinum, Just as I Am is the highest selling album ever released by an Australian Idol contestant.[9][12][13][14] The second single "All I Need Is You" also reached number one.[1] Sebastian's next two albums were certified platinum.[15][16] Beautiful Life showcased a stronger contemporary R&B sound and reached number two with a number-one lead single, "Out with My Baby", and two other top twenty singles.[1] Closer to the Sun was a mix of genres, including pop rock, soul, and jazz. It peaked at number four and produced a top ten and top twenty single.[1][17]

The Memphis Album was a cover album of soul classics recorded in Memphis with Steve Cropper and other members of American soul band the MGs. It peaked at number three and gained a double platinum certification.[1][18] Like It Like That, which showed the influences of Sebastian's Memphis soul period, reached number six and platinum certification.[1][19] The title track "Like It Like That" peaked at number one and was the highest selling Australian artist song of 2009.[1][20][21] "Art of Love", featuring Jordin Sparks, peaked in the top ten.[1] Twenty Ten was a retrospective album with songs from Sebastian's previous albums, two new songs and ten acoustic tracks. It peaked at number four and was certified double platinum.[22][23] The album's only single "Who's That Girl", featuring US rapper Eve, reached number one.[1]

Sebastian's seventh and eighth albums were mixtures of soul, R&B and pop.[24] Armageddon peaked at number one and was certified double platinum.[25] The album was the second highest selling album by an Australian artist in 2012.[26] Four top ten singles were released from the album, including "Battle Scars" which reached number one and was the highest selling Australian artist single of 2012.[1][27] Sebastian's eighth album Madness reached number six and has been certified gold.[1] The album produced a top ten and two top twenty singles.[1]
