# Carl Thomas discography

American singer Carl Thomas entered the music business after being discovered by rapper Puff Daddy, who signed him to Bad Boy Records, a then-imprint of Arista Records in 1997. Thomas became best known for his second single, the song "I Wish," which peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2000 and preceded his debut studio album, Emotional (2000). The album peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and was certrified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 11, 2000. "Emotional," the album's third and final single, became Thomas's second top ten hit on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Thomas's second album Let's Talk About It was released in March 2004. It debuted and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and was later certified Gold by the RIAA. The album produced three singles, including "She Is" featuring rapper LL Cool J and "Make It Alright," the latter of which peaked at number 33 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Following his depature from Bad Boy, Thomas released his So Much Better in May 2007 through a one-off deal with Jheryl Busby's Umbrella Recordings and producer Mike City's Unsung Entertainment. Chiefly produced by City, the album became his third consecutive album to peak at number two on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, though it also marked his first project to miss the top ten of the Billboard 200.
Conquer, the singer's fourth studio album, was issued by Verve Forecast Records in December 2011. It reached number 21 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but failed to chart significantly elsewhere. "Don't Kiss Me," the album's first and final single, peaked at number 52 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In January 2025, Thomas' first extended play, was released by Music of the Sea.
