The discography of the Young Divas, an Australian pop girl group, contains two cover albums, four singles, and four music videos. The group formed in 2006 by Sony BMG Australia, and consisted of previous Australian Idol contestants: Ricki-Lee Coulter, Paulini Curuenavuli, Kate DeAraugo and Emily Williams.

The group released their eponymous debut album in November 2006.[1] The album debuted at number four on the ARIA Albums Chart and certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for sales of 140,000 copies.[2][3] The lead single "This Time I Know It's for Real" peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and received platinum certification.[2][4] The album's second single "Happenin' All Over Again" reached number nine and certified gold.[2][4] The album's third single, "Searchin'", failed to achieve the commercial success of the two previous singles, only peaking at number forty.[2]

In 2007, Coulter left the group and was replaced by Jessica Mauboy.[5][6] Later that year, the group released their second cover album, New Attitude.[7] Despite peaking at number ten on the albums chart and receiving gold certification, the album failed to achieve the commercial success of the group's debut album.[2][3] The lead single "Turn Me Loose" peaked at number fifteen.[2] In 2008, Curuenavuli and Mauboy left the group to concentrate on their solo careers.[8] Later that year, the group went on hiatus, with DeAraugo and Williams working on solo studio albums.[9][10][11]
