Doves discography

The discography of the English alternative rock trio Doves comprises four studio albums, thirteen singles, and five EPs, as well as a best-of compilation album, a B-sides compilation, and a full-length DVD compilation. After self-releasing their first three EPs on Casino Records, the band signed to Heavenly Records and released their debut album Lost Souls in April 2000. The album reached #16 on the UK Albums Chart,^[1] and has since been certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.^[2] Their second album The Last Broadcast was even more successful upon its release in April 2002, reaching #1 on the charts and yielding the band's highest-charting single to date, "There Goes the Fear", which peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart.^[1] The album has also been certified platinum by the BPI.^[2] In February 2005, Doves released their third studio album Some Cities, which again topped the Albums Chart at #1, and produced the hit single "Black and White Town", which charted at #6, and the minor hit "Snowden", which peaked at #17.^[1]

Following worldwide tours throughout 2005, the band took a break, which saw singer/bassist Jimi Goodwin providing drums on the songs "Mathematics" and "People Help the People" by Bolton-based indie pop band Cherry Ghost, and drummer Andy Williams becoming a father for the first time in September 2007. The band reconvened and began recording throughout 2007 and 2008. Their anticipated fourth album Kingdom of Rust was released in April 2009, peaking at #2 on the Albums Chart.^[1] The album yielded two singles: "Kingdom of Rust" and "Winter Hill", the latter of which marked the first time a single by the band did not enter the top 100 of the Singles Chart. Worldwide tours coincided with the releases, including an appearance at the BBC Electric Proms festival accompanied by the London Bulgarian Choir in October 2009.^[3]

The band's first career-spanning best-of compilation, entitled The Places Between: The Best of Doves was released in April 2010^[4][5] and peaked at #12 on the Albums Chart.^[1] The single "Andalucia" preceded the album in March 2010.
