# Deborah Cox discography

Canadian singer and songwriter Deborah Cox has released ten albums (including five studio albums, three compilation albums, one remix album, and one extended play), and more than three dozen singles (including seven as a featured artist). She began her career in 1994 as a protégé of music executive Clive Davis, who signed her with Arista Records. Her self-titled debut album, a blend of R&B, soul and hip hop soul, was released in September 1995 and peaked at number 25 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. A steady seller, it was eventually certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over 500,000 units. Lead single "Sentimental" became a top thirty success on the US Billboard Hot 100, while second single "Who Do U Love" fared even better on the charts, peaking at number 17 on the Hot 100, while becoming her first number-one hit on the Dance Club Songs.
One Wish, Cox's second album with Arista, was released in September 1998. It peaked at number 72 on the US Billboard 200 and earned a Platinum certification from the RIAA, while reaching gold status in Canada. The album capitalized on the crossover success of lead single "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here," which became Cox's biggest-charting single yet, reaching number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song also reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, spending a then record-breaking 14 weeks at number one, while follow-up singles "It's Over Now", "We Can't Be Friends" and "I Never Knew" becoming chart-toppers on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs or the Dance Club Songs chart.
Following her transition to J Records, Cox released her third studio album The Morning After in November 2002. It became her biggest-charting album on the US Billboard 200 yet, debuting and peaking at number 38, but – with US sales of 200,000 copies – the album was commercially less successful than her previous two albums. The Morning After generated four singles, including "Mr. Lonely" and "Play Your Part," both of which topped the US Dance Club Songs chart. In July 2003, J Records released the club/house-heavy remix album Remixed. "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven," the album's solo single, became the first song to spend eleven weeks atop the US Hot Dance Airplay chart.
Following a longer hiatus during which she recorded several standalone singles, Cox released her fourth studio album Destination Moon in June 2007. A tribute album to jazz singer Dinah Washington, the album debuted and peaked at number three on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums. The following year, Image Entertainment and the Deco Recording Group released her fifth album The Promise. A return to her R&B sounds, it reached number 14 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Lead single "Beautiful U R," another number-one hit on the US Dance Club Songs chart, became her biggest-selling single in years, reaching the top ten on the Canadian Hot 100, while also going Platinum in Canada. "If It Wasn't for Love" (2011) and "Higher" (2013), two further standalone singles, became her tenth and twelfth chart topper on the US Dance Club Songs chart.
In 2015, the singer provided vocals for the made for television biographical film Whitney, based on American recording artist Whitney Houston. The same year, she released the deep house-influenced "Kinda Miss You", as well as the ballad "More Than I Knew" as singles. Both were set to appear on her sixth album Work of Art, though, after several delays, the album was left unreleased. In support of the musical The Bodyguard, Cox released the 2016 EP I Will Always Love You on Deco and Broadway Records, containing cover versions of seven Whitney Houston originals as well as Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." In June 2017, she released an uptempo dance single "Let the World Be Ours Tonight" during LGBTQ pride season on Radikal Records and Galactic Media. It marked her 13th single to top Billboard's Dance Club Songs.
