Throughout her long spanning music career, Allen has released fourth studio albums: 'It's Not Me, It's You' (2009), 'Sheezus' (2014) both records topped the UK Albums Charts and 'Alright, Still' (2006) and 'No Shame' (2018) which peaked at 2 and 8 on the United Kingdom, respectively. As well, she has topped the UK Singles Charts in three occasions, with the number #1 smash hits: 'Smile' (2006), 'The Fear' (2009), and Somewhere Only We Know (2014). She has received several recognitions for her music, including nominations for nine BRIT Awards (including one win for British Female Solo Artist in 2010), one Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Album (Alright, Still), three Ivor Novello Awards wins, one Mercury Prize nomination for Album Of The Year (No Shame), and twelve NME Awards (including three wins). As an actress, Allen made her debut on the big screen on 'How to Build a Girl' (2019), and in 2021, she made her West End debut in the new play '2:22 A Ghost Story', for which she received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress.
