As of 2007, she has sold 30 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling Middle Eastern music artists. Numerous of Ajram's singles have reached number one on several Arabic music charts, including Hit Marker and The Official Lebanese Top 20. By 2010, Ajram was announced the best-selling Middle Eastern female singer of the decade (2000–2009). At age 15, Ajram made her musical debut in 1998 when she  signed a multi-album contract with EMI and released her debut album "Mihtagalak" the same year. According to her, the contract with EMI did not help her back then as the album received no attention on media, although the lead single "Mitagalak" peaked within the top ten of single charts in Lebanon. Like her debut record, Ajram's second studio album "Sheel Oyoonak Anni" (2001) produced only one single. Ajram rose to fame with the start of her collaboration with well-known Lebanese producer Jiji Lamara and third studio album "Ya Salam". The album's lead single "Akhasmak Ah", became  a massive commercial success, topping Arabic music charts for 10 continuous weeks. Two further singles were released from the album, "Ya Salam" and "Yay" which managed chart success in several Arab countries. The singer's fourth album, "Ah W Noss" was released in April 2004 and debuted atop the Arabic sales charts. The album's eponymous lead single "Ah W Noss" reached number one on all Arabic music charts including Lebanon and Egypt, becoming one of Ajram's internationally most successful hits of all time. It was followed by further three singles, including "Oul Tani Keda", which served as her  Coca-Cola campaign first hit. Ajram's fifth studio album, "Ya Tabtab...Wa Dallaa" (2006), spawned six singles including the commercial success "Ehsas Jdeed", which topped the Arabic charts for a couple of weeks. In June 2007, Ajram released her first children's album entitled "Shakhbat Shakhabit" with a seven-minute medley music video. It was the most notable and successful work for children at the time. Ajram's sixth studio album "Betfakkar Fi Eih" was released on July 30, 2008, after an accompanying music video that premiered on Melody Hits. "Betfakkar Fi Eih" broke the record in Hit Marker 's Top 10 best-selling Arabic album charts by remaining for 54 consecutive weeks in the list. The Album produced seven singles, including two promotional, which continued Ajram's reign as the artist with most number-one hits in the history of the modern Arab music industry. With "Betfakkar Fi Eih", Ajram won her first World Music Award as the World's best selling Middle Eastern artist, becoming the youngest Arabian act to date to score a WMA. In September 2010, Ajram released her seventh studio album "Nancy 7", featuring four successful singles. The lead single, "Fi Hagat" peaked at  number one on multiple Arabian charts, most significantly Hit Marker, where it remained atop for 15 consecutive weeks, becoming the longest-running topper in the chart history. "Nancy 7" became Ajram's second album to earn the World Music Award as the World's best selling Middle Eastern act. The second children's album by Ajram, "Super Nancy", was released in September 2012. It debuted atop the Best-Selling Albums Chart of Hit Marker and stayed atop for continuous weeks. Two years later, Ajram released her eighth album, "Nancy 8" (2014). It entered Hit Marker chart directly to number one  and remained atop for continuous weeks.

Ajram's ninth album "Nancy 9" followed in April 2017. It topped Hit Marker chart for 16 continuous weeks since its release. Her tenth album "Nancy  10" was released in July 2021. Commercials. Coca-Cola slogans. Coca-Cola Middle East have always incorporated International Coke slogans into pan-Arab campaigns with Ajram. In 2007, Coca-Cola released their international trademark campaign of their popular slogan "The Coke Side of Life", which focused on themes such as fun, happiness, colors, and life. A collaboration with Nancy Ajram lead to the making of the song "El Dounya Helwa" (Life Is Beautiful) for which a commercial was filmed with an American director on international standards and hi-tech effects. Ajram insisted on filming in Lebanon which had been hit  by war a while back. "El Dounya Helwa" is considered Coca-Cola Middle East's and Ajram's most successful commercial to date; the single became one of Ajram's most successful songs, leading to its release as a single track in a live album entitled "El Dounya Helwa – Live". In 2009, as the campaign was sequeled internationally with "Open Happiness", Coke Middle East and Nancy released "Eftah Albak Tefrah". However, due to Nancy's pregnancy and giving birth, she was unable to participate in the print or TV campaigns that year and the song was used on the International  commercial instead. A website was launched for that campaign entitled "Eftah Tefrah". Under the slogan "Doses of Happiness", "Farha Ala Farha" was released for 2012 Ramadan TV ad campaign. In 2010, Coca-Cola released an Arabic version of Wavin' Flag originally by K'naan.
