Gahan released his solo debut album Paper Monsters in June 2003. The album, which was composed with Gahan's close friend Knox Chandler, peaked at number 36 on the UK Albums Chart,[2] as well as number five in Germany and Sweden.[3][4] The album spawned three singles, all of which reached the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart.[2] Live Monsters, a live video album, and its companion album Soundtrack to Live Monsters were released the following year. His second studio album, Hourglass, was released in October 2007, reaching number 50 in the United Kingdom and number two in Germany.[2][3] The album's lead single, "Kingdom", reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States.[5]
