The singles discography of American singer Brenda Lee contains 90 as a lead artist, four as a collaborative and featured artist, nine released in foreign languages, 21 promotional singles, 19 other charting songs and two music videos (for singles and songs). Lee's debut single was released by Decca Records in 1956 called "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)". The 1957 single "One Step at a Time" was her first to make the US charts. The 1958 release of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" did not chart until Lee had further charting singles in 1960. Originally the US Hot 100 top 20, it would later top the same chart 65 years later in 2023. In recent years, it has also made chart positions in several other countries.
The 1959 single "Sweet Nothin's" was Lee's first top ten recording, reaching number four in the US and the UK. The follow-up was the 1960 US and Australian top ten "That's All You Gotta Do". Its B-side titled "I'm Sorry" reached number one on the US Hot 100, number six in Australia, number two in Belgium and number 12 in the UK. "I Want to Be Wanted" was also a chart-topping US single. Between 1961 and 1963, nine of Lee's singles made top ten positions in the US. Some of them also reached the top ten in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Norway and the UK: "Emotions", "You Can Depend on Me", "Dum Dum", "Fool No. 1", "Break It to Me Gently", "Speak to Me Pretty", "Everybody Loves Me But You", "All Alone Am I" and "Losing You".
Following 1963, Lee's singles made the top ten with less frequency. In the US, she reached the top 20 through 1966 with singles like "The Grass Is Greener", "As Usual", "Too Many Rivers" and "Coming on Strong". Many of these releases (along with several more) made the top ten on the US adult contemporary chart. The singles "As Usual", "Is It True" and "I Wonder" made the top ten in Canada and European countries. Lee's last US top 40 entry was 1967's "Ride, Ride, Ride". In 1968, she collaborated with Pete Fountain on the single "Cabaret".
During the 1970s, Lee found commercial success in the country market. The 1973 single "Nobody Wins" reached the number five position on the US Hot Country Songs chart and went to number one on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart. Between 1973 and 1975, all of five of Lee's singles made the top ten on the US country chart: "Sunday Sunrise", "Wrong Ideas", "Big Four Poster Bed", "Rock on Baby" and "He's My Rock". While several more releases made the country charts, they stalled in the top 40. In 1979, "Tell Me What It's Like" returned Lee to the US country top ten. It was followed in 1980 by the top ten US and Canadian country song "The Cowgirl and the Dandy". In 1981, "Broken Trust" reached the number nine position on the US country chart. Lee's singles continued to make the US country chart through 1985 and in Canada through 1991.

The singles discography of Wanda Jackson, an American recording artist, consists of 81 singles, nine international singles, one other charted song, and three music videos. In 1954 at age 16, she signed as a country artist with Decca Records. Her debut single was a duet recording with Billy Gray which reached the eighth spot on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, also in 1954. Refusing to tour until completing high school, Jackson's further singles for Decca failed gaining success. She signed with Capitol Records in 1956 and began incorporating rock and roll into her musical style. Jackson's first Capitol single exemplified this format and became a national top-20 country hit. Follow-up rock singles between 1957 and 1959 failed gaining enough attention to become hits including, "Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad", "Fujiyama Mama", and "Honey Bop". In 1960 however, the rock and roll-themed, "Let's Have a Party", became Jackson's first Billboard top-40 pop hit after it was picked up by an Iowa disc jockey.
The singles discography of American country artist, George Jones, contains 182 singles. Of the total, 136 were released with Jones as the solo artist.

Additionally, 14 songs that are not released as singles are included that made any major chart. Finally, 21 music videos which were first issued as singles are also listed. Jones had his first chart success in 1955 with several top ten Billboard Hot Country Songs singles: "Why Baby Why", "What Am I Worth" and "You Gotta Be My Baby". After several more top ten releases, "White Lightning" became his first to top the Billboard country chart. Along with "Who Shot Sam", both singles were also his first to make the Hot 100 charts.
The singles discography of American country singer-songwriter Bill Anderson contains 84 singles, three promotional singles, 6 other charted songs and four music videos.
