South Korean girl group T-ara has released four studio albums (one of which was re-released under a different title), seven extended plays (four of which was re-released under different titles), two compilation albums, two remix albums, thirty-six singles (including four collaboration singles), and six promotional singles.

T-ara released their debut studio album, Absolute First Album in 2009, which peaked at number two on the Gaon Album Chart and produced two top-ten singles, "Bo Peep Bo Peep" and "Like the First Time". The re-released version of the album titled Breaking Heart was released in 2010; it peaked at number two on the Gaon Album Chart and sold over 40,695 physical units in South Korea. The reissue spawned the single "You Drive Me Crazy", which peaked atop the Gaon Digital Chart and became the fifth best-selling single of 2010 in South Korea, with over three million digital copies sold.[1]

In December 2010, T-ara released their first EP, Temptastic, which produced two top-five singles, "Wae Ireoni?" and "Yayaya". In June 2011, the group released their second EP, John Travolta Wannabe; the EP peaked at number three on the Gaon Album Chart and sold over 30,116 physical copies. The only single from the release, "Roly-Poly", became a breakthrough success, charting atop the Korea K-Pop Hot 100 chart and at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart. It eventually became the highest-selling digital single of 2011 in South Korea, with over four million digital downloads.[2][3] T-ara continued to consolidate their reputation in the South Korean music industry in 2011 and 2012 with the follow-up number-one singles "Cry Cry", "We Were In Love" and "Lovey-Dovey"; "Lovey-Dovey" was the second highest-selling digital single of 2012 in South Korea, with over 3.7 million digital units sold.[4]

In June 2012, T-ara released their first Japanese-language album, Jewelry Box. The album peaked at number two on the Oricon chart and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).[5] The album's lead single "Bo Peep Bo Peep" peaked atop the Oricon chart and the Japan Hot 100 and was certified Gold by the RIAJ for physical and digital sales exceeding 100,000 units.[6] A month later, the group returned to the South Korean music scene with Day by Day, followed by a reissue titled Mirage. The singles "Day by Day" and "Sexy Love" both reached the top ten of the Gaon Digital Chart and ranked among the top 100 best-selling singles in South Korea of 2012.[4] From 2013 to 2015, T-ara has released three EPs, Again, And & End and So Good, with modest success compared to their previous releases.
