The discography of English electronic music duo Goldfrapp consists of six studio albums, two live albums, two compilation albums, four extended plays, 24 singles, and one video album. The band was formed in 1999 in London, England, and consists of Alison Goldfrapp (vocals, synthesiser) and Will Gregory (synthesiser).[1]

Goldfrapp's debut studio album Felt Mountain was released in September 2000. The album reached number 57 on the United Kingdom albums chart and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[2][3] In 2001, it was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in the UK.[4] Black Cherry, their second album, was released in April 2003. The album and its singles experienced success on the UK Singles Chart and across nightclubs in North America, influencing the dance-oriented sound of future releases.[2][5]

In August 2005, the duo released their third album Supernature. The album reached number two in the UK and sold over one million copies worldwide.[2][6] The album produced two number one US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play singles,[5] and was nominated for "Best Electronic/Dance Album" at the 49th Grammy Awards in 2007.[7] Goldfrapp's fourth album Seventh Tree was followed in 2008. The album peaked at number two in the UK and reached the top 20 of several other national album charts, including in Australia, Austria, Belgium and Ireland.[2][8][9][10][11] Head First, Goldfrapp's fifth studio album, was released in March 2010. It reached number six in the UK and produced three singles: "Rocket", "Alive" and "Believer".[2] Goldfrapp's sixth studio album, Tales of Us, was released on 6 September 2013.[12]
