The discography of British singer Rita Ora consists of one studio album, one extended play, eleven singles (including six as a featured artist) and three promotional singles. Following several officially uncredited appearances on songs by British artists, Ora signed to Roc Nation, an American record label run by rapper Jay-Z, in 2009.[1]

In 2012, Ora collaborated with British drum and bass producer, DJ Fresh, on the single "Hot Right Now". The song peaked at number one in the United Kingdom, and appeared on multiple singles charts across Europe.[2][3][4] Ora also released her debut studio album, Ora, in 2012, and it topped the UK Albums Chart, as well as reaching number two in Ireland.[2][5] Ora spawned four singles: the first two, "How We Do (Party)" and "R.I.P.", both reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, making Ora the first artist of 2012 to have three consecutive singles reach that position.[2] "How We Do (Party)" and "R.I.P." also achieved commercial success internationally, with both reaching the top ten in Australia, and "How We Do (Party)" being certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association, as well as topping the Irish Singles Chart.[5][6]

In 2014, Ora released "I Will Never Let You Down", the lead single from her second studio album, which became her fourth UK number one.[7]
