This is the discography of Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi. He achieved global mainstream success in 2019 with his breakthrough single "Someone You Loved", which charted in over 29 countries and spent seven weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart. His debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent followed in May, which became the best selling album in the UK in five years, spending five weeks at number one in its first six weeks of release. It includes the top 10 single "Grace", the UK and US number one single "Someone You Loved"[1] and "Hold Me While You Wait", among several songs previously included on Capaldi's 2018 EPs Bloom and Breach. Capaldi went on tour in support of the record in May 2019, and finished the tour in October 2019.[2] It peaked at number one in the UK and Ireland, becoming the fastest-selling album of the year and also outselling all of the top 10 combined in both countries. It was certified gold in the UK a week after its release. The album was the best selling album in the UK in 2019 and 2020, with "Someone You Loved" being the best selling single of 2019 in the UK.

His second studio album Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent (2023) was preceded by three singles—the UK number ones "Forget Me", "Pointless" and "Wish You the Best", as well as the promotional single "How I'm Feeling Now"—and promoted with a 2023 world tour as well as a Netflix documentary titled Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now. Upon its release, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent had become the fastest selling album of 2023 in the United Kingdom, outselling the rest of the albums within the UK Top 20 during its first week of release.[3] It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand and his native Scotland. It reached a peak of number fourteen on the US Billboard 200.
