The band released their second studio album, Ta-Dah , in September 2006. Topping the charts in numerous countries, including the UK and Ireland, the album was a commercial success. Its lead single, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", peaked at number one in the UK and became an international top ten hit. The album produced three more singles: "Land of a Thousand Words", "She's My Man" and "Kiss You Off".
Scissor Sisters worked extensively with producer Stuart Price in recording their third studio album, Night Work , which was released in June 2010. The album reached number two in the UK and number three on the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
