Twelve studio albums have been released under The Divine Comedy name to date.
Their latest album Charmed Life – The Best Of The Divine Comedy, is available online and at all good record shops.
Charmed Life – The Best Of The Divine Comedy is a career-spanning 24 track collection of hit singles and fan favourites including National Express, Something For The Weekend, Songs Of Love, Our Mutual Friend, A Lady Of A Certain Age, Norman And Norma, To The Rescue and The Best Mistakes.
★★★★★ “The attractively designed package and its contents amount to more than just a condensed overview of Neil Hannon’s work: it also provides a valid reason for calling him the Poet Laureate of Pop Music. No arguments.” —IRISH TIMES
★★★★ “Charmed Life evidences one of pop’s most ingenious minds” —MOJO
★★★★ “Neil Hannon’s 24-track career sweep testifies generously to his lush orch-pop evolution” —RECORD COLLECTOR
