Belgian-Australian singer Gotye has released three studio albums, one remix album, one live album, one collaborative album, one video album, twelve singles, and at least twenty music videos. Having developed a passion for music in his childhood years, he began his musical career as the lead singer of Australian rock band Downstares. [1] Following the group's dissolution, Gotye turned his interest to creating sample-based electronic music; he sent out demo tapes of his music to several Australian radio stations. [1] [2] In 2002, he formed the indie pop band The Basics with fellow singer-songwriter Kris Schroeder. [2] Gotye later signed to Creative Vibes as a solo artist and released his debut studio album Boardface in February 2003.

Like Drawing Blood , Gotye's second studio album, was released in May 2006. It peaked at number 13 in Australia and was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). [3] [4] Like Drawing Blood was nominated by radio station Triple J for its annual J Award and produced the singles "Learnalilgivinanlovin" and "Hearts a Mess", which charted in Australia and the Belgian region of Flanders. [5] [6] [7] Mixed Blood , an album containing remixes and cover versions of Gotye's material, was released in June 2007; it peaked at number 64 in Australia. [3]

Gotye released his third studio album Making Mirrors in August 2011; it was preceded by the releases of its first two singles, "Eyes Wide Open" and "Somebody That I Used to Know". The latter became an international hit and topped the charts in thirty-one countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. [6] [8] [9] [10] The single also topped American chart provider Billboard's 2012 year-end Hot 100 chart. [11] Fueled by the success of "Somebody That I Used to Know", Making Mirrors topped the charts in Australia and reached the top ten in several other countries. [3] An additional four singles were released from the album: "I Feel Better", "Easy Way Out", "Save Me" and "State of the Art".
