The following is a list of music releases on The Echo Label. As of 2008, the label will no longer be acting as a record company, so the following list can be seen as complete. The most successful artists on their roster were Feeder, Moloko and Babybird, Moloko became the only artist of theirs to achieve a number one album anywhere in the world, when ''Statues'' reached that position in Flanders. They are also the only artist to get an IFPI sales award when the album passed 500,000 units in Europe, certifying it gold and the first artist of theirs to get a UK platinum certification by the BPI when their previous album ''Things to Make and Do'' reached the required 300,000 unit shipments in 2000, and took six months from the release date to do so. Feeder on the other hand became the only artist on the Echo roster to gain two platinum awards in the UK when ''Comfort in Sound'' and ''Echo Park'' both picked up the sales certificates in 2003, they later went on in 2006 to pick up their third when ''The Singles'' became the first Echo album to go platinum in less than three months- the first quarter of the album's debut year from its release date. Although Moloko had the highest-placed single in the UK charts when "The Time is Now" made number two in 2000 (kept off the top spot by Melanie C and Lisa Left-Eye Lopes with "Never Be the Same Again"), Feeder arguably have the most well-known single release on Echo's roster. "Buck Rogers" reached number five in January 2001, making it their first ever top 10 single and has over the years become an XFM and UK summer music festival anthem. Feeder have now formed their own label Big Teeth Music for domestic releases, and are still signed to their Japanese label Victor. Moloko on the other hand split in 2006. Their first artist on the label to achieve gold sales was that of Babybird for their album ''Ugly Beautiful'' in 1996, while its signature single "You're Gorgeous" became the only ever single on the label to gain gold sales, when it passed the required 400,000 in the UK. The only other certified singles are Moloko's "Sing it Back" and "The Time Is Now", both of which have been certified Silver, marking sales of 200,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BPI: Moloko - Sing It Back ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BPI: Moloko - The Time Is Now ) 〕 ==The Echo numbering system== Nearly all Echo releases start with the prefix ''EC'' with a following ''H'' for albums and an ''S'' for singles, though due to the number of formats for each release, each different media has additional characters in the catalogue number.
