[18] Their second album, from which two songs (Aniversari and Boomerang) were released in February 2011, went on sale on 15 March 2011 titled 10 milles per veure una bona armadura.

In its first week, it sold more than 10,000 copies and reached number 1 on the CD sales chart in Spain, something which hadn't happened with a Catalan disc in more than 15 years.

Manel's third studio album was Atletes, baixin de l'escenari (in English, Athletes, get off the stage), published by and distributed by Warner Music in CD, vinyl and digitally.

[21] The title refers to an incident at the 1992 Olympic Games where an announcer ordered a large number of dancing athletes to get off the stage as it was feared it would break.

On 12 September 2019, Manel announced the publication of their fifth studio album, titled Per la bona gent,[23] which was released on 4 October and consisted of twelve songs.

Two years later, in March 2023, Manel announced that they would be taking an indefinite break from performing together[25] and that lead singer Guillem Gisbert would be pursuing solo projects.
