The discography of Mel B, an English pop singer-songwriter, consists of two studio albums, six singles, six music videos and one DVD.

On 9 October 2000 she released her first studio album, " Hot", which also included her number one duet with Missy Elliott for the song " I Want You Back". The second single release from the album was " Word Up", reaching No. 14 in the UK. " Tell Me" was released in 2000, debuted at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart. The song sold approximately 100,000 copies, making it the 158th highest-selling single of 2000. [1] A fourth single was released in February 2001, " Feels So Good", which peaked at No. 5, followed by a final single, " Lullaby", a pop number dedicated to her daughter. The single entered and peaked at No. 13. The album was not a success and garnered mediocre reviews, [2] selling 7,419 copies in its first week and charting at No. 28, before quickly falling out of the charts, [3] leading to Virgin dumping Brown from their label. [4]

In 2005 Brown decided to release a new album by independent label Amber Café. L.A. State of Mind was released on 27 June 2005 in two formats: as a regular CD and as a limited edition with a DVD documentary. The only single from the album, " Today", peaked at number 41 in the UK. The album did not reach the UK Albums Chart.

In September 2013, Brown independently released her first single in eight years, " For Once in My Life". [5]
