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.[4] Billboard reported that holiday albums account for 40 percent of their total output.[22]
