The discography of American country artist Jan Howard contains 17 studio albums (five of which were collaborative releases), six compilation albums, 51 singles (seven of which were collaborative singles), one box set, two other charted songs and 12 additional album appearances. Her recordings were issued as singles beginning in 1958. The first to chart was issued by Challenge Records called "The One You Slip Around With". Released in 1959, it rose into the US Hot Country Songs top 20. It was followed by two duets with Wynn Stewart, including the chart record "Wrong Company". Howard's debut studio album, Sweet and Sentimental, featured dual credit with The Jordanaires and was issued by Capitol Records in 1962. In 1963, "I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again" reached the top 30 of the US country songs chart.
The 1964 single, "What Makes a Man Wander?", reached number 25 on the US country chart. It was recorded on Decca Records where most of Howard's material was released on. Her 1966 recording of "Evil on Your Mind" reached the US country songs top five, becoming one of two top ten solo singles in her career. The follow-up, "Bad Seed", was her second solo top ten entry. Both songs appeared on corresponding 1966 studio albums that entered the US Top Country Albums chart: Jan Howard Sings Evil on Your Mind and Bad Seed. Eight more of Howard's solo singles made the top 40 on the US country chart. This included the top 20 singles "Count Your Blessings, Woman" (1968), "My Son" (1968) and "We Had All the Good Things Going" (1969). They appeared on studio albums that made the US country chart as well such as Jan Howard (1969) and Rock Me Back to Little Rock (1970).
Beginning in 1965, Howard formed a duet partnership with Bill Anderson. Their 1967 single became her only chart-topping recording: "For Loving You". Between 1968 and 1972, the duo recorded four studio albums beginning with 1968's For Loving You. The album rose to number six on the US country chart. Their 1972 album Bill and Jan (Or Jan and Bill)) also made the US country top ten. The Anderson-Howard duo also had three more US and Canadian RPM top ten country songs: "If It's All the Same to You" (1969), "Someday We'll Be Together" (1970) and "Dis-Satisfied" (1971). Howard continued recording with Decca through 1974 before releasing Sincerely, Jan Howard (1975) on the GRT label. Her final charting singles were issued in the late 1970s and she released three more studio albums through the 1980s.
