The discography of Scottish singer-songwriter Sandi Thom includes six studio albums, twenty-one singles, one compilation album, two live albums and one demo album. Her debut album, Smile... It Confuses People, was released in June 2006, and spawned the internationally successful lead single "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)". It eventually topped the singles charts in the United Kingdom, and finished as the 5th best selling single of 2006 in the United Kingdom.[1] It topped the singles charts in her native Scotland, and in Australia, where it was eventually certified 2x Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. In Sweden and the United Kingdom, the single was certified Gold status, indicating sales in excess of 10,000 and 400,000 copies respectively.[2][3] The album reached number one in Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom,[4] and the top twenty in both Australia and New Zealand.[5]

In May 2008, she released "The Devil's Beat" as the lead single from her second album, The Pink & the Lily, which was subsequently released on 26 May 2008. The single failed the match the success experienced by her previous releases, peaking at number fifty-eight in the United Kingdom[6] and eighty-eight in Germany.[7] In many respects, the album also failed to match the success of her debut album, despite debuting at number eight in her native Scotland.[8] It debuted at number twenty-five on the UK Albums Charts, spending only two weeks within the top 100.[9]

Her third album, Merchants and Thieves (2010) debuted at number sixty-three on the albums charts in her native Scotland, and peaked at number three on the United Kingdom Jazz & Blues Albums Chart.[10] Her follow up album, Flesh and Blood (2012) , debuted at number twenty-seven on the UK Independent Albums Charts, whilst it debuted at number seventy-nine in Scotland.[10] Her subsequent albums, Covers Collection (2013) and Ghosts (2019) failed to make any chart appearance. In 2009, she released her first compilation album, The Best of Sandi Thom, followed by a live album, Live Sessions, in 2010.
