American singer David Archuleta has released eight studio albums, six extended plays, 24 singles, and 21 music videos.

In 2008, Archuleta released his self-titled album under Jive Records, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart[1] and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with 760,000 copies sold in United States as of January 2011.[2] His debut single "Crush" was released on August 1, 2008 and debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] In 2009, Archuleta released his second studio album and first Christmas album Christmas from the Heart under Jive Records, with sales of 246,000 in the United States. The album reached number thirty on the US Billboard 200 and number two on the US Holiday Albums chart.

In 2010, Archuleta released his third studio album The Other Side of Down under Jive Records and promoted it on The Other Side of Down Asian Tour that started in July 2011. The album reached number thirteen on the US Billboard 200.[4] "The Other Side of Down" managed only 60,000 copies sold, which led him to be dropped by Jive Records in 2011 after three years with the label.[5] In 2012, Archuleta left the recording business for a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile.[6] Earlier that year, Archuleta signed with Philippines network TV5 for a mini-series, Nandito Ako and released his fourth studio album Forevermore.[7] Archuleta released his fifth studio album Begin on August 7, 2012. Following his mission Archuleta released several singles and collaborations, but he made his official comeback to music in 2017 with the EPs Orion and Leo, released on May 19 and August 25, 2017 respectively. His sixth studio album Postcards in the Sky was released on October 20, 2017, and he followed that up in 2020 with his most recent album, Therapy Sessions.
