Athlete second album, Tourist, reached Number One in the UK Album Charts in its first week, following the huge success of single "Wires". In 2006 it won them the Ivor Novello Award for "Best Contemporary Song". In the UK charts, Athlete have frequently been frustrated by singles just missing out on top 40 placings, due to inconsistent support by music television channels and radio stations. For instance, certain songs, such as "Wires" and "Half Light", were played up to 10 times a day on larger UK radio stations, yet other singles such as "Westside" and "Tourist" received little to no radio play whatsoever.
On 10 June 2007, it was announced that the title of Athlete third album would be Beyond the Neighbourhood. The album was mixed by Ben Allen and Michael Brauer, who also worked on Tourist. Released on 3 September 2007, Beyond the Neighbourhood was a self-produced collection of low-key songs, viewed as a disappointment by some, and an interesting sidestep by others. It entered at #5 on the UK album chart.
On the 2nd June 2009 it was announced that Athlete had parted ways with Parlophone records and signed up with Fiction Records, who released Black Swan on 24 August 2009. The first single from the album "Superhuman Touch" was released on 17 August 2009, entering the UK charts at #74, climbing to #71 a week later. On the 12th of June 2009, Athlete released the song "Summer Sun" as a free download for email-subscribers.
