American girl group The Supremes has released 29 studio albums, four live albums, two soundtrack albums, 32 compilation albums, four box sets, 66 singles and three promotional singles. The Supremes are the most successful American group of all time, and the 26th greatest artist of all time on the US Billboard charts;[1] with 12 number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 (the fifth-best total in the chart's history)[2] and three number-one albums on the Billboard 200.[3] The Supremes were the first artist to accumulate five consecutive number-one singles on the US Hot 100[4] and the first female group to top the Billboard 200 albums chart with The Supremes A' Go-Go (1966).[5] In 2017, Billboard ranked The Supremes as the number-one girl group of all time, publishing, 'although there have been many girl group smashes in the decades since the Supremes ruled the Billboard charts, no collective has yet to challenge their, for lack of a better word, supremacy.'[6] In 2019, the UK Official Charts Company placed 7 Supremes songs—"You Can't Hurry Love" (16), "Baby Love" (23), "Stop! In the Name of Love" (56), "Where Did Our Love Go?" (59), "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (78), "Come See About Me" (94) and "Stoned Love" (99)—on The Official Top 100 Motown songs of the Millennium chart, which ranks Motown releases by their all-time UK downloads and streams.[7][8]

In 2020, Insider.com named The Supremes "the best-selling vocal group to date",[9] after Ebony estimated The Supremes' record sales at 50 million in 1980[10] and Euronews reported total sales exceeding 100 million records in 2014.[11][12] This would make the group one of the best-selling music artists of all time. However, Motown refused to submit their books for industry audit,[13] until the 1980s, years after the group disbanded.[14][15] As such, The Supremes' first certifications include; the Anthology compilation album, which peaked at number 66 on the US Billboard 200[3] and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on January 21, 1986;[16] and the Love Supreme (1988) compilation, which peaked at number ten on the UK Albums Chart[17] and was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on January 27, 1989.[18] To put this into perspective, the group's first hits compilation, Greatest Hits (1967), topped both the US[3] and UK albums charts upon release.[17] Despite selling over one million copies in the US,[19] with 89 total weeks on the Billboard 200;[3] and being the UK's fourth "longest-reigning Top 40 girl group album ever", with a total of 60 weeks in the top 40;[20] Greatest Hits (1967) is not certified by either the RIAA or BPI.
