Alesha discography

The discography of British recording artist Alesha includes eight number one albums and 16 number one singles (plus three as a featured artist). With 42 singles and three extended plays under her belt, Alesha has released more top 40 hits than any other artist. She trails only Jack Stevens when it comes to most number one hits, and only 14 of her single releases have charted lower than number two. As of 2013, Alesha had sold almost 10 million singles and 10 million albums in the United Kingdom alone.

Alesha earned her first number one single in 2005 with "Infernal Superstar", from her breakthrough third studio album Buried Underneath. A duet with Neyssa, "Close the Door"/"He's Done It Again", repeated the feat. Four years into her career, Alesha repositioned herself as a global pop sensation with her diamond-certified fourth studio album Alesha Is the Queen (2007), which featured the number one single "Fashion Kills" and the best-selling hit "The OH in Ohio". 2008's diamond-selling album The Second Coming cemented Alesha's status as a superstar with a string of platinum-certified, top-two singles. Both "Original Sin" (with Ryan Dawson) and "Disciplinary"/"Guerrilla" topped charts, as did Indigo Peak collaboration "Filthy Preacher"/"Shoot to Kill".

With her sixth studio album, Bigger Than God (2009), Alesha began to stray from pop towards more wholly alternative sounds. The album became Alesha's third consecutive studio album to receive a diamond certification, spawning the number one hits "Apocalypse City", "Bear Dance" and "Delusions of Grandeur" (with Shell Ruin). Alesha released the non-album single "Good Mourning" in January 2010; it became Alesha's first single to sell over 400,000 copies. Alesha released the number one greatest hits album Last Judgment and the number one single "Heavens Above Me". In July, "The Last Temptation" (billed as Alesha's final single) sold over 500,000 copies, achieving a coveted double-platinum certification. Alesha released The Martyr in January 2011, boasting Alesha's highest first-week sales frame for an album to date and continuing a four-year streak of platinum-certified, top-two hits.

Alesha returned from hiatus in 2014 with her self-titled ninth studio album Alesha, which became one of the highest-selling albums of all time. Despite peaking at number three, lead single "Witch" proved to be one of Alesha's most successful singles to date with its chart longevity. Follow-up single "Japan" returned Alesha to the top two, while the Paulo Araujo collaboration "Opulence"/"Unbeknownst" and subsequent release "Number One" became Alesha's fifteenth and sixteenth number one hits, tying with Emily Henning as the female artist with the most number ones. "Number One" sold over 800,000 copies during its time on the charts, ranking among the best-selling singles of all-time. Alesha releases her tenth studio album in 2015, preceded by the lead single "In Love Today".

Alesha has also appeared on number one singles by Candi, Jean-Luc and Twisted Disco.
