This is the discography of American singer Teresa Brewer. It contains 40 studio albums, multiple compilation albums, 89 singles and other charted songs. Her debut single was 1949's "Copper Canyon", which saw moderate success. It was followed by her single "Music! Music! Music!", which topped the American charts and brought her to national stardom. The next single "Choo'n Gum" reached the charts as well.
Brewer's second No. 1 came in 1952 with "Till I Waltz Again with You". It was followed by her first album projects. "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall" spawned the LP Time for Teresa and her No. 2 hit in 1953 "Ricochet" was included in her LP Teresa. "You Send Me" was Brewer's final top-10 pop hit released in late 1957. During this time Coral Records issued more of her LPs, such as Miss Music, For Teenagers in Love and Music, Music, Music. None of the albums would reach the charts.
In 1960, she recorded her final top-40 hit titled "Anymore". It notably became her biggest Canadian success, reaching No. 3 nationwide. Her next singles, "Older and Wiser" and "Milord" would barely scrape the charts. She actively recorded through the rest of the 1960s, reaching the singles charts with two singles in 1963. In 1965 and 1967, she recorded songs from Broadway musicals Mary Poppins and How Now, Dow Jones. Her final career chart entry was a rock remake of her original hit "Music! Music! Music!" in 1973. It made brief chart appearances in the US and Canada. Brewer would continue recording up until her husband died in 1996, exploring vocal jazz and recording with such jazz musicians, including Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Earl Hines, Svend Asmussen, and Bobby Hackett.
