It Confuses People is the debut studio album by Scottish singer Sandi Thom. It was released in both Ireland and the United Kingdom on 5 June 2006 by RCA Records (although the back of the album bears the RCA Music Group logo instead). The album is a mix of pop and folk, predominantly written by Thom herself alongside Tom Gilbert. The album produced Thom's first number-one single—"I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)"—on the UK Singles Chart, the Irish Singles Chart, and Australia's ARIA Singles Chart. In the latter country, the song spent the longest period at number-one in 2006 (10 weeks) and became the country's highest-selling single for 2006. The album also generated another two singles, but they both failed to replicate the success of the first single. Smile... It Confuses People was certified platinum by BPI selling three hundred thousand copies around the UK.[1] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}} [2] | rev2 = "Contactmusic" | rev2Score = {{Rating|3|10}} [3] | rev3 = "Metro" | rev3score = {{Rating|2|5}} [4] | rev4 = RTÉ | rev4score = {{Rating|3|5}} [5] | rev5 = The Guardian | rev5score = {{Rating|3|5}} [6] | rev6 = 'The Independent | rev6score = {{Rating|2|5}} [7] | rev7 = 'The Scotsman | rev7score = {{Rating|2|5}} [8] | rev8 = Virgin Media | rev8score = {{Rating|1|5}} [9] | rev9 = Yahoo!
