White on Blonde is the fourth studio album by Scottish rock band Texas, released by Mercury Records on 3 February 1997. The album was the band's first number one in their native Scotland, and also reached number one in the United Kingdom, and would become their biggest seller internationally, selling in excess of four million copies worldwide.[10] A major commercial success for the band, it has been certified 6× Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry for shipments of over 1.8 million copies, and has sold 1.65 million as of January 2017.[11]
It spawned the commercial successful singles "Say What You Want", "Halo", "Black Eyed Boy", "Put Your Arms Around Me" and "Insane". "Insane" was released as a Double A-side alongside "Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)", a remix version of "Say What You Want", and featured Method Man and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan.[12] At the 2010 BRIT Awards, White on Blonde was nominated for British Album of 30 Years, ultimately losing to (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis.[13]
