Annie Lennox discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is the discography of the Scottish pop and rock singer-songwriter Annie Lennox. After a decade of major international success as part of Eurythmics, Lennox began her solo career in earnest in 1992 with the release of her first album Diva, which produced several hit singles including "Why" and "Walking on Broken Glass". The same year, she performed "Love Song for a Vampire" for Bram Stoker's Dracula. To date, she has released six solo studio albums, three of them being covers albums (including a Christmas-themed album) and a compilation album, The Annie Lennox Collection (2009).

Following the multi-platinum success of Diva, she released her 1995 studio album, Medusa, which includes cover versions of songs such as "No More 'I Love You's'" and "A Whiter Shade of Pale". With eight Brit Awards, which includes being named Best British Female Artist a record six times, Lennox has been named the "Brits Champion of Champions".[1] She has also collected four Grammy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award. In 2002, Lennox received a Billboard Century Award; the highest accolade from Billboard.[2] In 2004, she received the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West", written for the soundtrack to the feature film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
In 2003, she released her third album, Bare, to critical and commercial success. Whilst it did not match the previous successes of her predecessor albums Diva and Medusa, it charted within the top ten in countries including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Germany and her native Scotland, and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 46th Grammy Awards. Her fourth album, Songs of Mass Destruction, followed in 2007 and spawned two singles – "Dark Road" and "Sing".[3] She fulfilled her contractual obligations with RCA Records in 2009 by releasing her first compilation album, The Annie Lennox Collection, and its lead single, a cover version of "Shining Light" which reached the top forty in the United Kingdom.[4]
Her fifth album, and first with new record label Island and Decca, A Christmas Cornucopia was released in November 2010, and in September 2014, released her sixth solo album Nostalgia.[5] Her version of "I Put a Spell on You" was a moderate commercial success attributed by its inclusion in the 2015 film Fifty Shades of Grey, reaching the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as the UK Singles Charts. Lennox has earned the distinction of 'most successful female British artist in UK music history' due to her global commercial success since the 1980s. Including her work with Eurythmics, Lennox is one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 80 million records worldwide.[6]
