The discography ofGnarls Barkley, an Americanalternative hip-hop duo composed of record producerDanger Mouse and soul singerCee Lo Green, consists of twostudio albums, twoextended plays, sevensingles and sevenmusic videos. The duo originally met in the late 1990s, and began to record music together in 2003 following the release of Danger Mouse's 2003 albumGhetto Pop Life.[1] Their first single, "Crazy", was released in 2006; it achieved worldwide chart success, reaching number two on the USBillboard Hot 100 – where it was certifieddouble platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA)[2] – and reaching the top ten of theAustralian,New Zealand andSwiss singles charts, among others.[3][4][5] It also topped theUK Singles Chart, attracting considerable attention for becoming the first song ever to top the chart on digital download sales alone, following a change to the chart's eligibility rules allowing songs to chart purely on digital sales providing that it was given a physical release the following week.[6] The song appeared on Gnarls Barkley's debut studio album,St. Elsewhere, which peaked at number four on the USBillboard 200 as well as topping the New Zealand and United Kingdom albums charts.[4][7] Three further singles – "Smiley Faces", which reached the top ten of the UK andIrish singles charts,[8][9] "Who Cares?" and a cover of theViolent Femmes song "Gone Daddy Gone" – were released fromSt. Elsewhere, although none of them appeared on theBillboard Hot 100.[10]
Gnarls Barkley's second studio album,The Odd Couple, was released on March 18, 2008 in the United States.[11] Although it is stylistically similar toSt. Elsewhere,[11]The Odd Couple did not achieve the same commercial success as its predecessor, reaching number 12 on theBillboard 200 and the top 20 of a select few worldwide album charts.[7][12] None of the singles fromThe Odd Couple matched the worldwide success of "Crazy": "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)",The Odd Couple's first single, achieved minor success on several European singles charts,[8][13] and "Going On", the second single, reached number 88 on theBillboard Hot 100.[10] The album also spawned the single "Who's Gonna Save My Soul", which failed to appear on any major national chart.
