Kasabian’s Official Top 10 Bestselling Singles Revealed!

To celebrate 10 years since the band’s very first hit Club Foot, and the release of brand new single Eez-Eh, we take a look back at Kasabian’s Top 10 bestselling tracks.

It’s already a decade since noisy psychedelic rockers Kasabian first graced the Official Chart Top 40, when Club Foot reached Number 19. Since then, they’ve scored a total of 11 Top 40 singles, including four Top 10s, and all but one of their four studio albums have gone to Number 1.

As the band – Tom Meighan, Sergio Pizzorno, Chris Edwards and Ian Matthews – prepare to release new single Eez-Eh, to be followed by fifth studio album 48:13, we take a look at their top-selling tracks in the UK so far. Is your fave track the king of the Kasabian hit list?

It’s no coincidence that the track at the top of the heap is their highest-charting single. Fire, taken from the band’s chart-topping third album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum was Kasabian’s fourth Top 10 single and is their biggest seller – it’s shifted 425,000 copies.

In an interview with the Guardian at the time of the track’s release, lead singer Tom Meighan described Fire as “flipping out”, and he wasn’t wrong – it managed to flip out all the way up to the dizzy heights of Number 3 in 2009.

In the runner-up spot is the hit that started it all. Club Foot made it to Number 19 on its first release in 2004, and was reissued the following year, when it managed a respectable Number 21. It’s shifted over 200,000 copies. The track was taken from Kasabian’s self-titled debut, which has sold over a million copies.

Another Top 10 hit and the title track of the band’s first Number 1 album, Empire reached Number 9 in 2006. Continuing the band’s anti-war theme, Empire was the second highest new entry that week. The highest? Madonna’s Get Together, which went in at Number 7. Empire (the single) has sold over 170,000 copies.

Rounding off the Top 5 is Empire’s follow-up Shoot The Runner, which peaked at Number 17. The video features some pretty mind-bending animation.
