American pop singer and songwriter Jesse McCartney has released five studio albums, thirty singles, two live albums, four EPs, and two DVDs. According to Recording Industry Association of America, McCartney has sold 7 million digital singles and 1 million albums in the United States.
In 1999, McCartney began his music career as the youngest member of boy band Dream Street. They released one album to gold sales in the US, before breaking up in 2002. Two years later, he signed with Hollywood Records and launched as a solo artist with the debut single "Beautiful Soul", which became a worldwide hit. The album of the same name was a platinum seller in the US and Australia. In 2006, McCartney sported a harder rock sound on his second album Right Where You Want Me to less success. In 2008, he released his third album Departure and the album's first single "Leavin'" became his most successful US hit, gaining platinum status. He has also become known for his songwriting, having co-penned the worldwide number one "Bleeding Love" for English singer Leona Lewis.
