Their debut studio album, Volume One was released by Merge Records in March 2008. [2] In the United States, it reached number seventy-one on the Billboard 200, and has sold over 300,000 copies as of 2014. [3] [4] Two singles were released from the set: "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" and "This Is Not a Test". [5] [6] The duo's follow-up release, Volume Two (2010) marked their first entry in different countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, [7] Australia, [8] Belgium, [9] France, [10] and Switzerland. [11] On the Billboard 200, it debuted at number six with 47,000 copies, becoming their highest-peaking album and sales week to date. [12] Its first single, "In the Sun" reached number four on US Singles Sales, [13] making it the band's most successful single. [14]

Released in October 2011, the band's first Christmas album A Very She & Him Christmas became their best-selling record in the United States, has sold 391,000 copies as of June 2014. [4] Six of its songs, including the single "Baby, It's Cold Outside", charted within the US Holiday Digital Sales. [15] In May 2013, the pair released the fourth studio album Volume 3 , which sold 26,000 copies during the first week of release, and debuted at number fifteen on the Billboard 200. [16] It was likely the highest-charting set also available on cassette tape, which comprised about 1 percent of the overall first-week sales. [16] To promote the album, the duo released the digital-only EP The Capitol Studios Session, [17] and two singles, "Never Wanted Your Love" and "I Could've Been Your Girl". [18] [19] The latter work was accompanied by a music video self-directed by Deschanel. [20]

After signing a contract with Columbia Records, the band's major-label debut Classics was released in December 2014, [14] which scored their fourth consecutive number-one album on US Folk Albums. [21] She & Him's second Christmas release, Christmas Party (2016) became their first studio album not to enter the Billboard 200. [3] According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), She & Him has sold 1.07 million albums as of June 2014.
