This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by Ashanti, an American pop, and R&B singer. As of March 2014, she has released five studio albums, twenty-four singles, and twenty-one music videos on her record labels Murder Inc., Def Jam, and Motown.

Ashanti's self-titled debut studio album was released in April 2002, and sold over three million copies in the United States.[1] It produced the number-one hit "Foolish" (spending 10 weeks atop on Billboard Hot 100) and two more top fifteen hits, "Happy" and "Baby".[2] Her second album Chapter II (2003), another platinum-seller, was released a year after and enjoyed international chart success, spawning her international hit "Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)".[3] The singer's third studio album Concrete Rose was released in December 2004 stateside and certified platinum by the RIAA one month after release.[3] A minor success in international music markets, however it produced two singles only, including the top twenty hit single "Only U". Following a hiatus and a label switch from Murda Inc to Motown, Ashanti's The Declaration (2008) was released in June 2008 in the United States.[4]
