New Zealand singer and songwriter Brooke Fraser has released five studio albums, two compilation albums, a live album, 19 singles (including two as a featured artist), three promotional singles, and 13 music videos. Fraser grew up musically active and signed to Sony BMG in 2002. In 2003, she released her debut single, "Better", which peaked at number three on the New Zealand Singles Chart. Her debut album, What to Do with Daylight (2003), was released the same year, debuting at number on the New Zealand Albums Chart and was eventually certified seven-times Platinum by the Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ). The album also spawned the singles "Lifeline", "Saving the World", "Arithmetic" and "Without You"; all of which reached the top 20 of the NZ Singles Chart.
Fraser's second studio album, Albertine, was released on December 5, 2006 and also debuted atop the NZ Albums Chart. The album, inspired by Fraser's visit to Rwanda,[1] was preceded by the top-five single "Deciphering Me", and followed with "Shadowfeet". The latter single reached number nine on the R&R chart (a chart for plays on American Christian music radio stations) in September 2008. The album also became the first to chart internationally, peaking at number 90 on the US Billboard 200, number three on the US Top Christian Albums chart, and number 26 on the Australian Albums Chart. The album was later certified four-times platinum by the RMNZ, gold in Australia and has since sold over 60,000 copies in North America.[2] From 2005 to 2010, Fraser was involved with the Hillsong Church's worship band Hillsong Worship.
In 2010, Fraser returned to pop music, and debuted atop the NZ Albums Chart for a third time consecutively, with her third studio album Flags. The album was released to critical and commercial success, peaking at number three in Australia, number 80 in Canada, and number 59 in the US. The album spawned the viral single "Something in the Water", which peaked atop the NZ Singles Chart, marking Fraser's first number-one in the country. She became the first New Zealand artist to have a number-one album and single simultaneously since 2004.[3] The album was certified Gold in its first week, and has since been certified three-times Platinum by the RMNZ. Fraser followed this with her fourth studio album, Brutal Romantic (2014), which saw Fraser experiment with electronic music. The album spawned the single "Kings and Queens" which peaked at number 20 in NZ.
In 2016, Fraser returned to making music with Hillsong Worship under her maiden name, Brooke Ligertwood, appearing on the internationally successful album Let There Be Light which peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200, and debuted atop the US Top Christian Albums chart. Fraser co-wrote and performed the album's second single, "What a Beautiful Name", which peaked at number seven on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart and number one on the US Hot Christian Songs chart, and also topped the latter's end-of-year chart. The song also won Fraser the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. The song was later ranked by Billboard as the 3rd top Christian song of the decade.
In 2016 and 2018, Fraser released two compilation albums, A Sides and B Sides featuring various singles and unreleased demos under her Fraser moniker. The former gained the single "Therapy" which topped the NZ Heatseekers Singles Chart. After appearing on several Hillsong Worship songs including "Who You Say I Am" and "King of Kings", Fraser released her first live album, Seven (2022) under the Ligertwood name, which peaked at number 36 in NZ and 15 in the US. She followed this up with Eight (2023).
