At the time, The Prodigy had been billed- along with the Chemical Brothers, Orbital, and Underworld- as the leaders of the mainstream media's regretfully named "electronica" movement, a moment in which electronic dance music was going to finally crossover to MTV and radio in the U.S. Those prognosticators were correct: The album (which, fact fans, debuted at #1 in the same week that Radiohead's OK Computer bowed at #21) was a significant modern rock signpost, albeit not for the expected reasons. 89.A handful of industry insiders and media outlets expected The Prodigy's third album, 1997's The Fat of the Land, to alter America's pop landscape. 30 on Billboard’s Hot 100 while “Smack My Bitch Up” peaked at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 2.6 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. Prodigy’s last studio set, 1997’s “The Fat of the Land,” debuted at No. The group followed that performance with a string of festival dates and one-off appearances. The song was unveiled to North American audiences at the 2002 Coachella Valley Music & Arts festival in Indio, Calif. The group has been vague as to whether or not “Baby” will appear on a new album. 21 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, and has been the only piece of new music the threesome has released in recent years. In July 2002, Prodigy released the single “ “Baby’s Got a Temper.” The XL/Mute/Maverick cut debuted at No. Sessions for a new album were said to have begun as far back as 2001. Single release will precede a spring/summer album release date.” “Intentions are to deliver the new album shortly after the New Year. “Recording of the album started about four months ago,” frontman Liam Howlett says in a statement. It had been rumored that the album could be released earlier, possibly even this year. Electronica act the Prodigy is finally starting to firm up information about its long-awaited follow-up to 1997’s “The Fat of the Land.” A spokesperson confirms the tentatively titled “Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned” is now due for release in spring/summer 2004. ![]()
