The discography of Tracy Chapman, an American singer-songwriter, consists of eight studio albums, two compilation albums, and 22 singles on Elektra Records. In the United States, Chapman has four Platinum albums, two of which are multi-platinum, and two Gold albums. All of her studio albums have charted on the U.S. Billboard 200, with five charting in the Top 40, and three in the Top 10. Five of Chapman's singles have charted on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, with "Fast Car" and "Give Me One Reason" reaching the Top 10 on both charts. The latter was also certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Both singles also hit No. 1 in Canada.

Chapman released her self-titled debut album in 1988 and it became a worldwide commercial success. The album went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and received six Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Folk Album, which she won. She also won Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her single "Fast Car".[1] Crossroads appeared the following year and earned Chapman an additional Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album, while it went to No. 9 on the Billboard 200. Her third album, Matters of the Heart, followed in 1992. Chapman's fourth album, New Beginning, was released in 1995 and became another worldwide success. It was certified 5× platinum by the RIAA and earned Chapman five Grammy nominations. It also yielded the hit single "Give Me One Reason", which earned Chapman the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.[1] Five years would pass before the release of her fifth album, Telling Stories (2000). Let It Rain and Where You Live followed in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Chapman's most recent studio album is Our Bright Future, released in 2008. It earned her another Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album.[1]
