American rapper and record producer, Ye, better known as Kanye West, has released 10 studio albums, three collaborative studio albums, one compilation album, one demo album, two live albums, one video album, and five mixtapes. All ten of his studio albums have been certified at least gold in the United States.[1] As of June 2021, West has certified 25 million equivalent solo albums units in the United States,[2] placing him among the highest-certified music artists in the United States.

West's debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200,[3] and was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in June 2004.[4] West's second studio album, Late Registration (2005), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 860,000 copies.[5] The album was the ninth best-selling album of 2005 in the United States. West's third studio album, Graduation (2007), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 957,000 units in its first week, becoming the fastest-selling album in the US since Late Registration, and breaking the record for most digital albums sold in a week.[6] West's fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), became his third consecutive number one release on the Billboard 200.[7]

West's fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with the fourth-highest digital first-week sales ever.[8] Watch the Throne (2011), a collaborative album with fellow American rapper Jay-Z, broke the US iTunes first-week sales record.[9] The compilation album, Cruel Summer (2012), released with his label GOOD Music, debuted atop the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[10] West's sixth studio album, Yeezus (2013), debuted at number one in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.[11]

West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016), made history by becoming the first album to top the Billboard 200, predominantly from streaming, while also having the second-highest total of first-week streams for an album.[12] In June 2018, West released both his eighth studio album, Ye,[13] and his second collaborative album, Kids See Ghosts (with Kid Cudi).[14] His ninth studio album, Jesus Is King (2019), became West's first to top the Top Christian Albums, and Top Gospel Albums charts.[15][16] His tenth solo studio album, Donda (2021), recorded the second-biggest first week performance in Spotify's history.[17][18] Donda 2, a demo album, was released in February 2022 via the Stem Player. In February 2024, he released the collaborative album Vultures 1 with Ty Dolla Sign, which became his 11th consecutive album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the most of any artist.[19]
