Kelis is an American recording artist and singer–songwriter. Her discography consists of six studio albums, one compilation album and thirty-one singles, including fifteen as a featured artist. At age sixteen, she left her parents' home and was signed to Virgin four years later.[1] Her debut single, "Caught Out There", was released in 1999, and reached number fifty-four on the Billboard Hot 100, and number four in the United Kingdom. Her debut album, Kaleidoscope, was released in December 1999 and charted at number one hundred forty-four on the Billboard 200, and has sold 249,000 copies in the country to date.[2] In the United Kingdom, it was certified gold and has sold over 160,000 copies.[3] Two more singles were released from the album, "Good Stuff" and "Get Along with You", and charted moderately well internationally. In 2001, she released her second studio album, Wanderland, which features similar "raw emotion and sophisticated musicianship" of her debut album.[4] The album was not released in the United States and the only single, "Young, Fresh n' New", charted poorly.[5]

In 2003, Kelis signed to Arista and released the hit single "Milkshake".[1] The song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her best charted single to date. The song was the lead single for Tasty, which was released in December 2003. Following the album release, Arista folded and Kelis was transferred to Jive.[6] In Europe, she was still signed to Virgin, and singles continued to be released there.[6] Tasty was certified gold in the United States, becoming Kelis' first album to be certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.[7] It has sold 652,000 copies in the U.S. to date.[8] In 2006, she released her first album with Jive, Kelis Was Here. The album was preceded by the lead single, "Bossy". The single was certified two times platinum in the U.S., but failed to reach the top twenty in most countries. The album debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200 and has sold 160,000 copies in the United States to date.[9] The album's third single, "Lil Star", features Cee-Lo Green, and reached number three in the UK and number eight in Ireland.

In late 2007, Jive dropped Kelis, and she was signed to Interscope and will.i.am Music Group in 2009.[8] She released her fifth studio album, Flesh Tone, in May 2010. The album saw Kelis departing from her previous R&B sound, and adapting a new dance sound.[10] The album was preceded by the lead single, "Acapella", the album spawned three singles that achieved moderate success in the charts; "4th of July (Fireworks)", "Scream" and "Brave".
