American singer Kelly Rowland has released four studio albums, two compilation albums, one box set, two extended plays and forty-four singles, including twenty as a featured artist and five promotional singles. Rowland began her career in 1997 with one of the best-selling girl groups, Destiny's Child, who have sold around 60 million records worldwide. As a solo artist, Rowland has sold 27 million records worldwide.
During the hiatus of Destiny's Child, Rowland released her debut solo album Simply Deep (2002) through Columbia Records. It included her worldwide number-one single "Dilemma" with rapper Nelly, which spent ten consecutive weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100. Other singles released from the album include "Stole", "Can't Nobody" and "Train on a Track". "Stole" peaked in the top thirty of the Billboard Hot 100 and top five in most other regions including the United Kingdom, where it reached number two. The album was a commercial success; more than 2.5 million copies were sold worldwide. It was subsequently certified platinum in the UK, and gold in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States.
After the disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2005, Rowland was featured on Trina's top-twenty single, "Here We Go". Rowland's second studio album, Ms. Kelly, was released in 2007 and debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200. It featured the singles "Like This", "Work", "Ghetto" and "Daylight". "Like This" peaked in the top thirty of the Billboard Hot 100 and top five in Ireland and the UK. "Work" reached the top ten in several countries including Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UK. Ms. Kelly was considerably less successful than its predecessor, having failed to earn any chart certificates. Columbia Records ended their contract with Rowland due to the album's lack of commercial success.
