This is the discography of British and American actress and singer Tracey Ullman. Known mainly for her work in television and film, she had a brief career as a successful pop singer. She was signed to Stiff Records in 1983 after label owner Dave Robinson heard some of the song parodies that she had done in the British sketch comedy television series Three of a Kind. Her albums consisted mainly of cover versions of songs from the 1950s through the early 1980s.
Her cover of the Kirsty MacColl song "They Don't Know" would go on to become her most successful single, reaching No. 2 in the UK, No. 8 in the United States, and No. 35 in Germany. In less than two years, she had seven singles in the UK Top 100, five of them top 30 hits. After the release of her second album, You Caught Me Out, in 1984, she decided to leave her music career behind and focus on acting.
