American R&B singer Tevin Campbell has released four studio albums, one compilation albums, and two extended plays. Campbell made his debut in 1989 on Quincy Jones' single "Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)."^[1] Released as the lead single from Jones' ensemble album Back on the Block (1989), it reached number one on Billboard's US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.^[2] The following year, he was recruited by Prince to record "Round and Round" for his rock musical drama Graffiti Bridge (1990),^[3] which reached number twelve on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was later certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).^[2][4] In 1991, he appeared with his song "Just Ask Me To," another top ten hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, on the Boyz n the Hood soundtrack.^[2]

In November 1991, Campbell released his debut album T.E.V.I.N.. It reached number 38 on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number five on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums,^[2] eventually reaching Platinum status in the United States.^[4] Lead single "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" became his first top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the New Zealand Singles Chart, peaking at six and number nine, respectively.^[2] It also marked his first song to top the R&B charts and was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA.^[2][4] Five further singles were released from the album, including "Goodbye" and "Alone with You," the latter of which became his second number one hit on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.^[2]

In October 1993, Qwest Records released Campbell's second album I'm Ready. Outperforming its predecessor, it opened at number 18 on the US Billboard 200 and peaked at number three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 1.7 million copies domestically.^[5] It was later certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA and reached Gold status in Australia.^[4][6] The album yielded a number of hit singles, including "Can We Talk" and "I'm Ready," both of which peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 and enjoyed particular success throughout Oceania.^[2] With "Shhh" and "Always in My Heart," I'm Ready produced two further top ten singles on the US R&B chart.^[2]

Conceived after a period in which Campbell made fewer public appearances and focused on his private life, Back to the World, his third album, was released in June 1996. Introducing a more mature image for the singer, it was considered a commercial disappointment compared to his first two albums,^[7] peaking at number 46 on the Billboard 200 and number eleven on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Campbell's first effort to miss the top ten on the latter.^[2] "Back to the World," the album's lead single, became a top hit in New Zealand and reached the top 20 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart,^[2] though subsequent singles achieved less commercial success.^[2] Campbell's self-titled fourth studio album was released in February 1999. It reached number US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and produced the single "Another Way," a top thirty hit in New Zealand and on the US R&B chart.^[2] In 2001, Qwest Records issued his first compilation album The Best of Tevin Campbell. It would mark his final release with the label.
