Keyshia Cole discography: History and Key Facts

American singer Keyshia Cole has released seven studio albums, two extended plays, one mixtape, 24 singles (including 11 as a featured artist) and 39 music videos (including seven as a featured artist). Her recordings—primarily rooted in contemporary R&B and frequently incorporating elements of hip hop and pop—have produced numerous entries on the US Billboard charts, including multiple top-ten placements on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts and other rankings. Several of her releases have also received certifications in many countries, including the United States. To date, Cole has sold over 15 million albums worldwide.

Cole's musical career officially began with the 2004 single "Never", which became her first entry on a national chart when it reached number 71 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Her debut album, The Way It Is, was released on June 21, 2005 through A&M Records. The album entered the US Billboard 200 at number six with first-week sales of 89,000 copies and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2006, she was featured on Sean Paul's "(When You Gonna) Give It Up to Me", followed by Diddy's 2007 single "Last Night"; both songs reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100 and charted in the top ten in multiple international territories, later receiving several certifications. Cole's second studio album, Just like You (2007), established her as a commercial mainstay: it debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 281,419 copies and produced the lead single "Let It Go" (featuring Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim), which reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100 and has been certified platinum, while further singles such as "I Remember" and "Heaven Sent" reinforced her prominence on the R&B charts. Her third album, A Different Me (2008), became the pinnacle of her commercial success up to that point—selling 322,000 copies in its first week and earning a platinum certification.

Throughout the 2010s, Cole continued to release full-length records and collaborations. Her fourth studio album, Calling All Hearts (2010), debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 128,000 copies. It was followed by Woman to Woman (2012), which also opened in the top ten with 96,000 copies sold in its first week and reached number two on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album produced three singles: "Enough of No Love" (featuring Lil Wayne), which entered the Hot 100 and reached the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, "Trust and Believe" and "I Choose You", which further charted on Billboard's urban rankings. Cole followed with Point of No Return (2014), which became another of her releases to top the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Following a brief hiatus and a label move to Epic Records, Cole's seventh studio album, 11:11 Reset (2017), was issued in October 2017 and spawned the singles "You" and "Incapable", both of which reached the top 20 of Billboard's US Hot R&B Songs chart. In subsequent years, Cole released the standalone singles, "I Don't Wanna Be in Love" in 2021, which charted on Billboard's urban radio rankings, and "Forever Is a Thing" in 2023.
