The discography of Scottish singer and songwriter Sheena Easton consists of fifteen studio albums, sixteen compilation albums, fifty-five single, two live albums and four box sets. Her debut single, "Modern Girl" was released in February 1980, and peaked at number 8 on the UK Singles Charts and number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The follow–up single performed stronger, particularly in the United States where it reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and subsequently certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[1] Her debut album Take My Time was released in 1981I, and was released in the United States as Sheena Easton. It performed well commercially, earning Gold certifications in both Canada and the United States, and spawned an additional three singles – "One Man Woman", "Take My Time" and "When He Shines".

By mid–1981, she had recorded and released "For Your Eyes Only" as the theme for the James Bond movie of the same name. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 54th Academy Awards and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song at the 39th Golden Globe Awards in 1982, and reached the top ten on the UK Singles Charts and Billboard Hot 100, whilst peaking at number 1 in both the Netherlands and Norway.[2] Moderate success followed with the release of Madness, Money & Music (1982), a trend which continued until the release of her fifth album A Private Heaven in 1984 which saw Easton adopt a more "sexy pop singer" appearance.[3] Her new look resulted in a revival and return to commercial prominence for Easton, particularly with the single releases "Strut" and "Sugar Walls", both of which reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.

Her prominence, particularly in the United States during the mid–1980s, lead to recording collaborations with Kenny Rogers and Prince, the latter in which had previously written "Sugar Walls" under his pseudonym Alexander Nevermind.[4] In 1987, Easton and Prince released "U Got the Look" which reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the UK Singles Charts. Easton's ninth album, The Lover in Me (1988), was produced by prominent R&B producers including Babyface, Angela Winbush, L.A. Reid and Prince, and as a result marked a shift towards a more R&B and urban sound than her previous releases.[5] It became her first charting album in the United Kingdom in five years,[6] whilst it continued a period of commercial success for Easton in the United States. Similarly, the title track reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, whilst in the United Kingdom it peaked at number 15.[7] Her tenth album, What Comes Naturally, was released in 1991, before Easton began a decline in sales and popularity, beginning with No Strings (1993).

In 2000, she attempted a comeback with the album Fabulous which spawned the single "Giving Up, Giving In" that reached number 54 on the UK Singles Charts.[8] Credited as an "80s pop phenomenon" by The New York Times,[9] she has been regarded across the industry as one of the most defining and recognisable voices of the 1980s,[10] with estimated record sales worldwide of 20 million.[11] She became the first artist in Billboard history to have a top-five hit on each of the Billboard primary singles charts.[12]
