American rapper Jay-Z has released thirteen studio albums, four collaboration albums, one live album, one compilation album, one soundtrack album, two extended plays (EPs), 115 singles (including 45 as a featured artist), nine promotional singles, and 82 music videos. As of December 2014, Jay-Z sold 29,179,000 studio albums in the United States.[1]

Jay-Z began his music career in the 1980s, building a reputation as a fledgling rapper in his hometown of Brooklyn, and collaborating with his mentor and fellow rapper Jaz-O.[2] Jay-Z later founded Roc-A-Fella Records with close friends Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, and released his debut album, Reasonable Doubt (1996).[2] The album peaked at number 23 on the US Billboard 200 and has since been recognized as a seminal work of the hip hop genre.[3][4] Its singles includes "Dead Presidents", "Ain't No Nigga", and "Can't Knock the Hustle", all of which reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart.[5] His second album, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1997), saw Jay-Z collaborating with producers such as Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs and Teddy Riley,[6] and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[3][7] His third album, Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life (1998), and became his first number-one album in the United States.[8] The album featured the international hits such as "Can I Get A..." and "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)", which both reached top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100.[8] Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life was certified five times platinum by the RIAA and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 1999.[9] Two more chart-topping albums–Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter (1999) and The Dynasty: Roc La Familia (2000)–followed with both of these two albums includes hit singles such as "Big Pimpin'" and "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)", and the latter record features several guest appearances from artists signed to Roc-A-Fella.[2]

His sixth album, The Blueprint (2001), topped the Billboard 200, and produced Jay-Z's first Billboard Hot 100 top ten single, "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)".[3][8] The Blueprint was critically reviewed as his best album, while two other records–being his first collaborative album, The Best of Both Worlds (with American R&B singer R. Kelly), and his seventh album, The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse (2002)–were both released the following year. The latter album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and featured the top ten singles "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" and "Excuse Me Miss".[3][8] His eighth album, The Black Album (2003), was intended by Jay-Z to be his final studio album and features his impending retirement as a recurring theme.[2][10] The album performed well commercially and was later certified 3x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA.[7]

Following a period of dormancy, Jay-Z became president of Def Jam Recordings in December 2004 and resumed his rap career two years later with the release of Kingdom Come (2006), which peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified 2x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA.[3][7][11] The concept album, American Gangster (2007), and continued his streak of number-one albums in the United States.[3] With the release of The Blueprint 3 (2009), Jay-Z surpassed Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most number-one albums on the Billboard 200.[12] The album included the international hits such as "Run This Town", "Empire State of Mind" and "Young Forever".[8] His fourth collaborative album, Watch the Throne (with American rapper Kanye West), followed in August 2011, and became Jay-Z's eleventh number-one album in the United States.[8] His twelfth album, Magna Carta Holy Grail (2013), was a great commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 and having the second-biggest sales week for 2013 at the time of its release.[13]
