Every one of Sarah McLachlan’s studio and live albums has been certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum. Her first two albums, Touch and Solace, were both gold sellers, which were then followed by the triple-platinum breakthrough album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.
Sarah’s landmark fifth album, the 10X-platinum Surfacing, contained two Grammy Award-winning tracks: “Building a Mystery” won Best Female Pop Vocal and “Last Dance” was voted Best Pop Instrumental. In 1998, the soundtrack for City of Angels reached Number One on the Billboard chart. Featuring “Angel,” the City of Angels soundtrack achieved 4X platinum sales status.
The 1999 Lilith Fair tour gave rise to Sarah’s 4X-platinum album Mirrorball and its platinum long-form video counterpart. “I Will Remember You,” earned Sarah her third Grammy Award, for Best Female Pop Vocal. Afterglow, released in 2003, reached 2X-platinum status and received two Grammy Award nominations: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal.
In October 2006, Sarah released Wintersong, her first album of holiday-themed songs. In 2008, Sarah celebrated the 20th anniversary of her multi-platinum recording career with the release of Closer: The Best Of Sarah McLachlan. She selected thirteen classic tracks from her award-winning catalogue and also included two newly recorded and previously unreleased songs, “U Want Me 2” and “Don’t Give Up On Us.” Closer entered the Billboard chart at No. 11, Sarah’s fifth album to reach the Billboard Top 15.
