Information AboutNatalie Imbruglia |
'']] Natalie Jane Imbruglia (born February 4 , 1975 ) is an Australian Singer , songwrite, Model and Actress . The second of the four daughters of an Italian father and an Australian mother, Natalie grew up on the Central Coast , north of Sydney . Like Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue , she also played a role in the soap '' Neighbours '' before venturing into a singing career. BIOGRAPHY Her first single, an Ednaswap cover, ''Torn'' ( 1997 ), reached number 2 in the British charts, and broke the record for the most airplay in the UK. Her debut album ''Left of the Middle'' became a million seller. The follow up came in 2001 with the album ''White Lilies Island''. In a 1999 cooperation with singer Tom Jones , she appeared on a track of his album '' Reload ''. Imbruglia returned to acting in 2002 with a supporting role in British spy Spoof '' Johnny English '', playing alongside Rowan Atkinson . She married her long-time boyfriend Daniel Johns , lead singer of Silverchair , on December 31 , 2003 . In April 2005, Imbruglia released her third studio album '' Counting Down The Days '' to the UK, which in its first week of sales hit number one on the album charts. The first single from this album was "Shiver." Shiver became her longest running single on the UK Charts since her debut "Torn" and also topped the UK Airplay charts for several weeks. The second single the title track "Counting Down The Days" was released on July 25th and although it did not have as much success in the singles chart as "Shiver" it reignited interest in its parent album, and has been dominating the UK airwaves like its older sister has. Natalie did a small European tour in late October and November. It looks unlikely that a third single will be released from the album as Natalie will soon be working on a small independent film in Australia. DISCOGRAPHY Albums Singles Note: Peaks for "Torn" & "Wishing I Was There" are based on Hot 100 Airplay, as Natalie's singles were never commercially released in the U.S. "Torn" did enter the Hot 100 at #42 nearly one year after its release when airplay only tracks were allowed to chart, this was long after its peak.
