The discography of Emma Bunton, an English soul / pop singer, consists of three studio albums, ten singles, ten music videos and a number of other appearances.
Her debut solo album A Girl Like Me was released in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2001 by Virgin Records. The album debuted and peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart. On 7 September 2001, A Girl Like Me was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 100,000 copies,[1] ultimately becoming the 147th best-selling album in the UK for 2001.[2] The album brought the UK number-one "What Took You So Long?" as well as top five hits "What I Am" (a cover of a 1988 song by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) and "Take My Breath Away" and the top 20 hit "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight". The album sold 125,000 copies in the UK.
Bunton's second album, Free Me, was released in 2003 through 19 Entertainment/Universal Records. Four singles were taken from it: "Free Me", "Maybe", "I'll Be There" and "Crickets Sing For Anamaria". After some success in the American dance charts the album was sold in North America. The American edition included remixes and a different cover. Life in Mono, her third album, was released in December 2006. The album, inspired by 1960s pop music, produced the hit "Downtown" and received very positive reviews from critics, but was a commercial failure.[3]
