Charlotte Church is the self-titled second album, released in 1999, featuring the voice of the then 13-year-old soprano Charlotte Church. The song “Just Wave Hello” was prominently featured in the global campaign for the Ford Motor Company, and Church’s image was used to promote their lineup.

In some editions (e. g. the version emitted in Hungary), the album contains the "Silent Night" as well, as the 18th track of the album (though it is not mentioned in the track list or the textbook of the CD). It is probably similar with the same track on the third album of Charlotte, the Dream a Dream.
