The discography of Lynn Anderson, an American country artist, consists of 35 studio albums, 17 compilation albums, two live albums, one tribute album, and 74 singles. She signed a recording contract with Chart Records in 1966, after her mother Liz Anderson gained success as a country songwriter and singer. Anderson's debut release was the single "In Person" in 1966, charting her first top 10 hit in 1967 "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away)", which spawned her debut album Ride, Ride, Ride. Anderson's next single later in the year entitled "Promises, Promises" also reached the Top 5 and an album of the same name peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Between 1967 and 1969, Anderson released seven singles, including the Top 20 hits "No Another Time", "Big Girls Don't Cry", and "That's a No No", and four more albums such as, With Love, From Lynn and At Home with Lynn. With her success on the Chart label, Anderson was coaxed into signing with the major label Columbia Records, and officially signed in 1970. While releasing two albums and singles with Columbia, Chart continued to release singles, including "Rocky Top", "I'm Alright", and "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", which all reached the Top 20 on the Billboard country chart in 1970.
In late 1970 under Columbia, Anderson released the single "Rose Garden", which became Anderson's biggest-selling single and signature song, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #5 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, and reaching #1 in 16 countries around the world. An album of the same name (1971) reached number one of the Top Country Albums chart, #19 on the Billboard 200, and certified platinum in the United States. Following the single's international success, Anderson released the albums You're My Man and How Can I Unlove You in 1971, both of which peaked at #1 and #2 respectively on the Top Country Albums chart. She released seven more albums between 1972 and 1975 that peaked within the Top 20 on the Billboard Top Country Albums list. Eight of her singles between this time reached the Top 10 on the country singles chart, including a cover of Churchill Kohlman's "Cry", "Listen to a Country Song", "Top of the World", and "What a Man My Man Is", the latter reaching #1 on the Billboard country chart.
