The discography of American pop-soul singer Diana Ross, the former lead singer of the Supremes, consists of 26 studio albums and 117 singles. Throughout her career, Ross has sold over 100 million records worldwide. Billboard ranked her as the 47th greatest artist of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 and the 11th greatest female artist on the Hot 100. In 1993, Guinness World Records named Ross the "most successful female charting artist in music history". Her 1980 album Diana remains the best-selling album of her career.
Between 1970 and 1986, Ross charted 40 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. 27 of those reached the top 40, including 12 top 10 hits with six reaching number one. "Endless Love" (1981), a duet with Lionel Richie spent nine consecutive weeks at number one and set a record for Ross as the female solo artist with the most number one pop singles, a record she held until 1988. Between 1970 and 2005, Ross charted 70 songs on the UK singles chart. 46 songs reached the top 40 including 19 top ten singles and two number ones.
33 of her albums charted on the Billboard 200, with 17 peaking inside the top 40. On the UK albums chart, Ross charted 46 albums with 32 reaching the top 40.
Ross sang lead on a UK top 75 hit single at least once every year for 33 consecutive years (1964-1996), a record for any perfomer. She is among a select group of artists whose albums and singles combined have spent more than 1,000 weeks on the official UK charts, with her singles totalling 573 weeks (10.9 years) and her albums spending a total of 634 weeks (12 years) on the charts. , Ross has 29 certified BPI albums (7 Silver, 13 Gold, 8 Platinum and 1 Multi Platinum). Ross also has nine certified BPI singles (5 Silver, 1 Gold, 3 Platinum).
As Motown was not affiliated with the RIAA until 1978 her albums released before that date have never been certified in the US, although six of these sold enough to reach Gold status and one sold enough to reach Platinum.
