The discography of David Gray, a British singer-songwriter, consists of twelve studio albums, two live albums, three compilation albums, an EP, and twenty-one singles.
Gray released three studio albums in the 1990s before finally making a commercial breakthrough with his fourth album White Ladder (1998), which received little initial attention before being re-released the following year. It has sold over 3 million copies in the UK alone, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time there. He achieved two subsequent UK number-ones with A New Day at Midnight (2002) and Life in Slow Motion (2005), and went on to reach the US Top 20 with five successive albums.[1]
