Outkast discography

The discography of Outkast, an American hip hop duo (consisting of rappers André 3000 and Big Boi), consists of six studio albums, one compilation album, one soundtrack album, one video album, 32 singles (including eight as featured artists), three promotional singles, and 21 music videos. In 1992, Outkast became the first hip hop act to be signed to the label LaFace Records; with their first studio album ''Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'' (1994) that debuted at number 20 on the US ''Billboard'' 200. ''Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'' spawned the commercially successful single "Player's Ball", which reached number 37 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their following two albums, '' ATLiens'' (1996) and '' Aquemini'' (1998), were commercially successful in the United States; both albums peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200, and were certified double-platinum by the RIAA. Three singles were released from each album; all three from ''ATLiens'' charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, with " Elevators (Me & You)" peaking at number 12, making it the most successful. The lead single from ''Aquemini'', " Rosa Parks", peaked at number 55 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100: two more singles, "Skew It on the Bar-B" and "Da Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)", were released from the album. In 1998, Outkast collaborated with hip hop group Goodie Mob on the single "Black Ice (Sky High)" and with rapper Cool Breeze on the single "Watch for the Hook"; the singles peaked at numbers 50 and 73 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, respectively.

Outkast's fourth studio album '' Stankonia'' was their first to achieve success outside the United States; as well as peaking at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200, it appeared on the Australian, German and United Kingdom albums charts, along with several others in Europe. Although the lead single "B.O.B" only peaked at number 69 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, the following single " Ms. Jackson" became their first to top the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and peaked in the top ten of many other singles charts. The album's third single "So Fresh, So Clean" peaked at number 30 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. A compilation album, '' Big Boi and Dre Present... Outkast'', was released in 2001, with "The Whole World" as the album's only single.

In 2003, Outkast released a double album, '' Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'', that became their first album to reach number one on the ''Billboard'' 200. It was later certified 11-times-platinum by the RIAA, and was certified double-platinum in the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and in New Zealand by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ). The lead single, " Hey Ya!", peaked at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and also topped the Australian and Swedish singles charts. " The Way You Move", a collaboration with singer Sleepy Brown, also topped the Hot 100, and the third single, "Roses", reached the top ten in many territories. " Ghetto Musick" and "Prototype" were released as the final two singles from the album. In 2006 Outkast released their sixth studio album, '' Idlewild'', which also served as the soundtrack to the film of the same name. The first single from the album, "Mighty O", peaked at number 77 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The second " Morris Brown" was a moderate hit on the charts, the third single only peaked at number 100 and the following two singles "Hollywood Divorce" and " The Train" did not chart. Idlewild was met with lukewarm reviews from music critics and from fans. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.
