LeAnn Rimes discography

American singer LeAnn Rimes has released eleven studio albums and placed thirty-two singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since 1996.

At the age of nine, Rimes released her demo album in 1991 on an independent label. Disc jockey Bill Mack became aware of Rimes' album and was impressed by her voice, and soon began to cultivate a plan for Rimes to make her breakthrough in the country music industry. Rimes recorded Mack's self-penned "Blue" and released it as a single in 1996, and it became a major country hit, propelling Rimes to her breakthrough only at age thirteen.

The album sold over six million copies in the United States. Her second album, You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs, is the only album to ever debut at number one on three individual charts at the same time. It spawned an extended mix of the number two pop hit, "How Do I Live", which brought Rimes to crossover pop stardom. Rimes' later releases focused on the pop music market. After the commercial decline of her 2002 album, Twisted Angel, Rimes released the album This Woman, which returned Rimes to recording country music.

Rimes is mainly known for her pop hits in Europe, Australia, and Asia. Her 2002 pop album, Twisted Angel, went gold in Australia. In 2004, The Best of LeAnn Rimes album, reached number two in the UK and went to platinum. A remix edition of The Best of album was released in Europe later that year. In 2006, she released the pop album, Whatever We Wanna, internationally due to a rise in sales of This Woman after "Something's Gotta Give" was released as a single.

In the United States, Rimes's success is primarily from her country hits. The 2007 album, Family included two Top 40 country singles, as well as "What I Cannot Change", which hit number one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in February 2009. LeAnn has also enjoyed Dance Club success with remixes of "Nothin' Better to Do", "Headphones" and "Good Friend and a Glass of Wine".

Rimes has sold over thirty-seven million records worldwide to date, with 16.5 million albums and 5.5 million singles certified by RIAA. Rimes was ranked the number seventeen Best Selling Artist of the 1990-99 decade by Billboard. She was also ranked at number 184 on Billboard 200 Artists and number thirty-one on Country Artists of the 2000-09 decade.
