Puerto Rican recording artist Ricky Martin has released ten studio albums,[1] seven compilation albums, two live albums, one soundtrack album and four box sets. Martin has sold over 70 million records, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists of all time.[2] His self-titled debut studio album was released in November 1991 by Sony Discos. Two years later, Columbia Records released Martin's second studio album, Me Amaras. Despite both albums failing to achieve a significant commercial success, they pushed Martin towards superstar status in many Latin American countries.[3] His third studio album, A Medio Vivir, was released in September 1995 by Sony Latin. The album features a "harder rock edge style" than his previous efforts, while being mixed with Latin references such as flamenco and cumbia.[3] A Medio Vivir charted in several countries and peaked at number seven in Spain[4] and number 11 on the US Latin Albums chart.[5]

In 1998, Martin released his fourth studio album, Vuelve, which became his first record to chart on the US Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 40;[6] it became the highest-selling Latin album of 1999 and is the tenth bestselling Latin album of all-time in the country as of October 2017.[7][8] Additionally, it peaked at number one on the US Latin Albums chart[5] and in Spain,[4] where it was certified six-times platinum by Promusicae.[9] He released his fifth studio and second eponymous album in 1999; it was a commercial success reaching number one in Australia,[10] Finland,[11] Spain[4] and in the United States,[6] and number two in the United Kingdom.[12] It was certified seven-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over seven million copies in the United States.[13] As of April 2011, Ricky Martin has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, making it his best selling-album.[14]

Martin released his sixth studio album, Sound Loaded, in 2000. The album peaked in the top five in Australia,[10] Spain,[4] Sweden,[15] Switzerland[16] and the United States,[6] where it was certified double platinum for shipments of over two million units.[13] In 2001, Martin released two greatest hit albums: La Historia and The Best of Ricky Martin. La Historia compiled his biggest Spanish-language hits and charted at number 83 on the US Billboard 200[6] and number one on the US Latin Albums chart,[5] while The Best of Ricky Martin which consisted of his biggest English-language hits, peaked at number 23 in Australia[10] and 17 in Finland.[11] In 2003, the singer released his seventh studio album, Almas del Silencio. It peaked at number one on the US Latin Albums chart[5] and number 12 on the US Billboard 200.[6]

Martin's eight studio album, Life, was released in October 2005 to moderate success, peaking at number six in the United States[6] and number 40 in the United Kingdom.[12] In 2006, Martin's first live album, MTV Unplugged, was released by Sony Music Norte. It peaked at number 38 on the US Billboard 200[6] and number one on the US Latin Albums chart.[5] Martin's ninth studio album, Música + Alma + Sexo was released by Sony Music Latin in January 2011. It peaked at number three in the United States[6] and received a platinum certification in the Latin field by the RIAA, indicating shipments of over 100,000 copies in the country.[13] In April 2013, he released his sixth compilation album, Greatest Hits: Souvenir Edition, exclusively in Australia, where it peaked at number two[10] and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[17] A Quien Quiera Escuchar, Martin's tenth studio album, was released in February 2015;[18] it debuted at number 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart[6] and number one on the US Top Latin Albums chart.[5]
