The discography of Weezer,an American rock band,consists of 15 studio albums,two compilation albums,one video album,nine extended plays,37 singles and 40 music videos. Weezer's self-titled debut studio album,often referred to as The Blue Album,was released in May 1994 through DGC Records. The album was a commercial success,peaking at number 16 on the US Billboard 200 and spawning the singles "Undone –The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly",both of which were responsible for launching Weezer into mainstream success with the aid of music videos directed by Spike Jonze.

Peaking at number 19 on the Billboard 200,it was considered a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release,selling far less than its triple platinum predecessor.
