Leona Lewis Discography

The discography of British pop and R&B singer Leona Lewis consists of three studio albums, twelve singles, one video album and sixteen music videos. In 2006, she signed to Simon Cowell's record label Syco Music, which is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment (formerly Sony BMG). In North America, she signed with another Sony division, J Records until the parent company dissolved it in 2011, with future recordings now released by RCA Records. As of July 2011, she has sold over 11 million albums worldwide. Following winning the third series of British television talent show, The X Factor in 2006, Lewis released "A Moment Like This" in the United Kingdom and Ireland, which became the fastest selling single ever by a female artist in the UK. Her follow-up single, "Bleeding Love" reached number one in 34 countries, and was the biggest-selling single of 2008 worldwide. Lewis's first studio album, Spirit was released to follow the single; it became the fastest-selling debut album of all time in the UK and Ireland, and the first debut album by a British solo artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. In 2009, Spirit was listed as being the 27th biggest-selling album of all time in the UK, and has sold over 9 million copies worldwide. The next single, "Better in Time", was also successful worldwide, reaching the top ten in many countries. Subsequent singles "Forgive Me" and "Run" were released across Europe and Australia; "Forgive Me" went onto moderate success, while "Run" became Lewis's third number one in the UK, and also reached the top spot in Austria and Ireland. "I Will Be" released as the final single in North America.

Her second studio album, Echo was released on 9 November 2009, spawning two singles. Lead single "Happy" reached the top five in various countries in Europe, while follow-up single "I Got You" went on to be Lewis's lowest performing single. She recorded the theme song, "I See You", for the 2009 film Avatar, then in 2010 featured on the soundtracks of Sex and the City 2 and For Colored Girls. In November 2010 Lewis released a video album of her tour The Labyrinth, entitled The Labyrinth Tour Live from The O2.

Lewis's third album, Glassheart, was released in October 2012 and was met positively by critics, and, although still successful, is Lewis' least successful album to date, charting at only number 3 in the UK and 4 in Ireland. "Collide" was released as the lead single for the album in September 2011, but the song did not make it onto the final track listing of the album and Trouble was released as the lead single instead. Lovebird serves as Glassheart's second single, released 9 December 2012.
