Word Gets Around

Word Gets Around is the debut studio album by Welsh rock band Stereophonics. It was released on 25 August 1997 through V2 Records and reached number six in the UK Albums Chart, making it one of four Stereophonics albums not to reach number one; the other three being 2009's Keep Calm and Carry On, which reached number eleven, 2013's Graffiti on the Train, which went to number three and 2017's Scream Above the Sounds, which just missed the top spot. Much of the album is written about everyday life in Cwmaman, the band's hometown. The deluxe and super-deluxe editions were released on 18 October 2010.
