The discography of American recording artist Toni Braxton consists of seven studio albums, five extended plays, six compilation albums, two remix albums, thirty singles (including three featured singles) and twenty-two music videos. Braxton was born in Severn, Maryland on October 7, 1968. Her mother, an opera vocalist, encouraged Braxton and her four sisters to sing in church at a young age. In 1990, songwriter Bill Pettaway discovered the sisters and helped them obtain a record deal with Arista Records, as the group titled The Braxtons; the group's debut single, "Good Life", was released the same year. Although the song failed to chart, Braxton's voice caught the attention of producers, L.A. Reid and Babyface, who signed her to their newly formed LaFace Records. In 1991, Braxton recorded songs for the soundtrack album of 1992 Eddie Murphy film Boomerang. Her solo debut single, "Love Shoulda Brought You Home", reached the top-thirty of the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart and the top-five of the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Two years later, her self-titled debut album was issued through LaFace. The album topped the United States Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and was certified eight-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It spawned four singles, including "Breathe Again", which peaked within the top-ten in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The album sold over ten million copies worldwide.
