40. Goldfrapp: ‘Supernature’ - Supernature is the third album by British electronic duo Goldfrapp. It was released by Mute Records on 22 August 2005 in the United Kingdom, and was the duo's first album to receive mixed reviews. Most critics complimented its blend of pop and electronic music, while others called it uninspiring. Supernature was a top five album in Goldfrapp's native United Kingdom, and its lead single "Ooh La La" was a top five single. In North America, where "Number 1" was promoted as the first single, the album was released on 7 March 2006, peaking low on the Billboard charts.

The album represented a change in Goldfrapp's musical style, and featured pop and electronic-dance music; inspirations were disco music artist Donna Summer and New Wave band New Order. Supernature received a Grammy Award nomination in 2007 for "Best Electronic/Dance Album". In January 2006, the album was certified platinum in the UK, and has sold one million copies worldwide as of early 2007.

Supernature debuted on the UK albums chart at number two (blocked from the top position by James Blunt's Back to Bedlam), and sold 52,976 copies. The album remained on the chart for thirty-one weeks, and was certified platinum on 13 January 2006. In Australia, the album reached number twenty-three, although it received limited promotion. The album reached the top forty in Austria, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and Switzerland and sold one million copies worldwide.

Supernature became Goldfrapp's first release to chart on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States, where it peaked at number one-hundred thirty-eight. It reached number three on the Top Heatseekers chart and number five on the Top Electronic Albums chart. The album has sold 49,000 copies in the US since its release in March 2006.
