American singer and songwriter Kelis has released six studio albums, one live album, one compilation album, 38 singles (including 20 as a featured artist), and 29 music videos. At age 16, she left her parents' home and was signed to Virgin Records four years later.[1] Her debut single, "Caught Out There", was released in 1999, reaching number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number four in the United Kingdom. Her debut album, Kaleidoscope, was released in December 1999 and charted at number 144 on the Billboard 200, and has sold 249,000 copies in the country to date.[2] In the United Kingdom, it was certified gold and has sold over 167,000 copies.[3] Two more singles were released from the album, "Good Stuff" and "Get Along with You", and charted moderately well internationally. In 2001, she released her second studio album, Wanderland, which features similar "raw emotion and sophisticated musicianship" of her debut album.[4] The album was not released in the United States and the only single, "Young, Fresh n' New", charted poorly.[5]

In 2003, Kelis signed to Arista Records and released the single "Milkshake".[1] The song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her best-charting single to date. The song was the lead single for Tasty, which was released in December 2003. Following the album release, Arista folded and Kelis was transferred to Jive Records.[6] In Europe, she was still signed to Virgin, and singles continued to be released there.[6] Tasty was certified gold in the United States, becoming Kelis' first album to be certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.[7] It has sold 535,000 copies in the US to date.[8] In 2006, she released her first album with Jive, Kelis Was Here. The album was preceded by the lead single, "Bossy". The single was certified double platinum in the US, but failed to reach the top 20 in most countries. The album debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200 and has sold 160,000 copies in the United States to date.[9] The album's third single, "Lil Star", features Cee-Lo Green, and reached number three in the UK and number eight in Ireland.

In late 2007, Jive dropped Kelis, and she was signed to Interscope Records and will.i.am Music Group in 2009.[8] She released her fifth studio album, Flesh Tone, in May 2010. The album saw Kelis departing from her previous R&B sound, and adapting a new dance sound.[10] The album was preceded by the lead single, "Acapella", the album spawned three singles that achieved moderate success in the charts; "4th of July (Fireworks)", "Scream" and "Brave".
