The discography of American rapper Wiz Khalifa consists of seven studio albums, one compilation album, one soundtrack album, three extended plays (EP), two collaborative albums, 84 singles (including 44 as a featured artist), seventeen promotional singles, twenty-one mixtapes, and 82 music videos. After signing to the Pittsburgh-based independent label Rostrum Records as a teenager, Khalifa released his first mixtape Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, and his first studio album, Show and Prove (2006).[1] Following the release of Show and Prove, Warner Bros. Records signed Khalifa in 2007 as part of a joint deal with Rostrum. At Warner, Khalifa released the singles "Youngin' on His Grind" and "Say Yeah". The latter became his first song to appear on a Billboard chart, peaking at number 20 on the US Hot Rap Songs.[1] Disagreements with Warner over the release of a purported major-label debut album led Khalifa to part ways with the label, and release his second studio album Deal or No Deal in 2009 on Rostrum Records alone.[1]

In April 2010, Khalifa released his eighth mixtape, Kush & Orange Juice, which garnered widespread attention after topping Google's Hot Search Trends list. This brought Khalifa to the attention of Atlantic Records, who promptly signed him.[1] Khalifa's first single for the label, "Black and Yellow", achieved significant commercial success in the United States, peaking atop the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaking within the top ten of both the Canadian Hot 100 and UK Singles Charts.[2][3][4] The song has since received sextuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling 6,000,000 units.[5] His follow-up singles, "Roll Up", "On My Level" (featuring Too Short) and "No Sleep", each entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100; all of which preceded Khalifa's third album and major label debut, Rolling Papers (2011), which peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 and received gold certification by the RIAA.[5][2] In Autumn 2011, Khalifa guest appeared on the single "5 O'Clock" by T-Pain, and released the single "Young, Wild & Free" (with Snoop Dogg featuring Bruno Mars); both songs peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.[2]

In 2012, Khalifa's fourth studio album, O.N.I.F.C., was preceded by the release of the singles "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "Remember You" (featuring the Weeknd), both of which peaked within the top 75 of the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Several other songs from O.N.I.F.C. also charted upon the album's release; "Let It Go" (featuring Akon) debuted and peaked at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Following the release of "Work Hard, Play Hard", Khalifa collaborated with pop rock band Maroon 5 on their single "Payphone", which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100[2] and entered the top ten in Australia,[6] New Zealand[7] and Switzerland charts.[8] "Payphone" became Khalifa's first song to peak the UK singles chart.[4] Following its release in the United States on December 4, 2012,[9] O.N.I.F.C. peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and topped both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts.[10][11][12] Blacc Hollywood followed in 2014, and included the single "We Dem Boyz", which peaked at number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Khalifa, a compilation album composed of songs from 2009 onwards, was released on February 5, 2016, and spawned a moderate hit single "Bake Sale" (featuring Travis Scott). The sequel to his debut album with Atlantic Records, Rolling Papers 2 was released in 2018 and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.
