Gray released three studio albums in the 1990s before finally making a commercial breakthrough with his fourth album White Ladder (1998), which received little attention at first before being re-released the following year. It has sold over 3 million copies in the UK alone, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time there.
Gray achieved two subsequent number-one albums with A New Day at Midnight (2002) and Life in Slow Motion (2005).
