The discography of American band DNCE consists of one studio album, two extended plays, seven singles, four featured singles, four promotional singles, and 11 other guest appearances on other albums. The band has sold 5 million copies worldwide and have collaborated with acts such as Nicki Minaj, Charlie Puth, Rita Ora, Sabrina Carpenter, Fifth Harmony, Tinashe, Hailee Steinfeld, Rod Stewart, and Kygo.

The group released their debut single, "Cake by the Ocean", on September 18, 2015. ^[1] Though starting out slow, the song went on to become a success in numerous territories, peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number 7 on the Canadian Hot 100. ^[2] They then released their second single, "Toothbrush", which also received decent success, although less of a success than "Cake by the Ocean", peakng at number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100.

After releasing their first two singles (alongside their feature on Hailee Steinfeld's "Rock Bottom"), the group released their debut extended play, Swaay , on the 23rd of October, 2015. ^{[3] [4]} The four-track album received a generally positive critical reception upon its release, with Entertainment Weekly writing that it "splits the difference between [Joe's] former band’s slick power pop and the electro-kissed pop stylings of his solo album." ^[5] The EP would later reach number 39 on the Billboard 200, and would reach as high as number 18 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

That same year, the band would release their third single, "Body Moves", which (alongside three promotional singles) would lead to their debut self-titled studio album, released on the 18th of November, 2016. The album would reach number 17 on the Billboard 200 and would be certified gold. The album would later be re-released on the 8th of November, 2017 in Japan, with six bonus tracks, including the sole single for the reissue, "Kissing Strangers", featuring rapper Nicki Minaj. The band's remix of Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" would also release that year.

In 2018, the band released their second EP, PeopletoPeople, on the 15th of June, 2018. This EP did not chart, and was released in Japan with the bonus track "Dance", which also did not chart. After 2018 ended, DNCE went on hiatus as lead singer Joe Jonas and drummer Jack Lawless resumed work with the Jonas Brothers after their reunion in 2019. DNCE returned in February 2022, featuring on Kygo's "Dancing Feet" and releasing two more singles, "Move" and "Got Me Good", alongside contributing the song "Flamingo" to the movie Anything'sPossible. After two years, the band would go on hiatus once again in 2024. The band briefly returned in 2024 to release a remix of Joe Jonas' song "Work It Out" alongside a compilation EP including a number of their previous singles. ^[6]
