The Stone Roses (album)

The Stone Roses is the title of the debut album by the British group of the same name.

Although it has since been defined as a seminal "Madchester" or Britpop album, it was not successful on its first release entering the charts at no.32 and remaining in the Top 40 for just one week. The album eventually reached no.19 in early 1990, almost a year after its initial release. The album then enjoyed something of a renaissance from 1994 on the back of Britpop fever (spearheaded by groups like Oasis and Blur) and reached no.23 in February 1998. A tenth anniversary edition reached no.26 in October 1999, and a 20th anniversary issue reached an all-time peak of no.5. In all the album has spent 47 weeks in the UK album Top 40.
