Kimberley Locke discography: History and Key Facts

The discography of American singer Kimberley Locke consists of five studio albums, one extended play, one compilation album, nineteen singles, and eight music videos.

Following her top-three finish on the second season of American Idol in 2003, Locke was signed to a recording deal with Curb Records. Her debut album, One Love, was released on May 4, 2004, and entered the Billboard 200 chart at number sixteen. The album spawned four singles including the top-40 hit "8th World Wonder".

Locke's second album, Based on a True Story, was released on May 1, 2007. While first week sales did not match those of her first album, debuting at number 160 on the Billboard 200, it contained several successful singles. Curb began including dance remix packages with each of the single releases, each hitting number one on the Billboard dance charts. All three went on to be included in the top 40 year-end dance charts and the album's second single, a cover of the Freda Payne classic "Band of Gold" was featured at number 45 on Billboard's best dance songs of the decade list.

Later that same year, Locke released her holiday album, Christmas, on November 6, 2007. This was her third and last album with Curb Records. As with her previous releases, this album contained several successful singles. The first and most successful single, "Up on the House Top," quickly reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, a spot it held for four weeks. This was the fifth song in the history of the chart to reach number one in only three weeks on this chart and the first number one for the Curb label in eight years. The next two singles from the album, "Jingle Bells" and "Frosty the Snowman" also went number one on this chart.
