This is the solo discography of Scottish singer–songwriter Sharleen Spiteri. Following the release of Texas' seventh studio album Red Book (2005), Texas began a hiatus which lead Spiteri to embark on a solo career. Her debut solo album, Melody, was released in 2008 to critical and commercial success. It reached number three on the UK Albums Chart, and spawned the successful single "All the Times I Cried". Subsequent single releases from the album, "Stop, I Don't Love You Anymore" and "It Was You" were less successful. A promotional single, "Don't Keep Me Waiting" was released exclusively in Switzerland, where it reached number seventy-eight on the Swiss Singles Hot 100 Charts.
Her second solo album, The Movie Songbook, was released on 1 March 2010. Whilst commercially less successful than Melody, it still charted strongly in the United Kingdom, France and Belgium, where it reached number thirteen, twenty-eight and twenty-seven (Flanders) and fifty-seven (Wallonia) respectively. It spawned one single, a cover of the 1980 song by Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra "Xanadu", which reached number seventy one on the UK Singles Charts.
