Annie Lennox discography

This article is the discography of the Scottish pop and rock singer-songwriter Annie Lennox. After a decade of major international success as part of Eurythmics, Lennox began her solo career in earnest in 1992 with the release of her first album Diva. A multi-platinum success, she has since released five further solo studio albums, three of them being covers albums (including a Christmas-themed album) and also a greatest hits collection. Six of her albums have reached the UK top ten, and two of them reached number one.

This article is about Annie Lennox's solo career. For works within Eurythmics, see Eurythmics discography.
