The solo discography of the Scottish singer and musician Midge Ure consists of eight studio albums, fifteen live albums, one soundtrack album, eight compilation albums, four video albums and twenty-five singles. In 1985, he released his debut solo album The Gift which spawned the internationally successful single "If I Was" which was released in September 1985 to commercial success, reaching number one in the United Kingdom and Ireland, whilst reaching the top ten in West Germany, Austria, New Zealand and Belgium. It was subsequently certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales in excess of 250,000 copies.[1] The album, The Gift peaked at number two on the albums charts in the United Kingdom whilst also charting in territories including Sweden, Australia and the Netherlands. It was subsequently certified Gold by the BPI in the United Kingdom.[2]
His second album, Answers to Nothing (1988) was released to moderate success, reaching the top thirty in the United Kingdom and eighty-eight on the US Billboard 200. His 1988 single "Dear God" reached number ninety-five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number four on the US Billboard Modern Rock Charts.[3] Follow-up albums, Pure (1991) and Breathe (1996), were released to less commercial success, but still charted within the top 100 of the UK Albums Charts.[4] In 1993, his compilation album, If I Was: The Very Best of Midge Ure & Ultravox was certified Silver by the BPI in the United Kingdom.[5] His fifth album, Move Me (2000) failed to chart, but Ure returned to the albums charts in the United Kingdom with his sixth album Fragile (2014).[4] In 2017, he released Orchestrated which became his highest charting album in the United Kingdom since Answers to Nothing (1991).[4]
