Dig Your Own Hole is the second studio album by British electronica duo The Chemical Brothers, released on 7 April 1997. It features Noel Gallagher of Oasis and Beth Orton as guest vocalists. The album sleeve depicts a black-and-white photo of a fan, Sarah Atherton, taken at one of their gigs.
In 1998, Q magazine readers voted Dig Your Own Hole the 49th greatest album of all time. In 2000, the same magazine placed it at number 42 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
In 2004, the album was packaged with 1995's Exit Planet Dust in a limited edition box set as part of EMI's "2CD Originals" collection. It was certified platinum by the BPI on 21 January 2000.
It was the band's first UK number one album, achieving this peak in the charts on 19 April 1997. The album also had two number one singles, which were released prior to the album. The success of the album lead The Chemical Brothers to be much sought after remixers, and the duo released a mix album in 1998 entitled Brothers Gonna Work It Out. The album stands as the duo's longest studio album, exactly fourteen minutes longer than the band's debut album Exit Planet Dust.
It was included in Q TV's "Top 100 Albums of All Time" list in 2008.
After The Chemical Brothers' successful debut album, Exit Planet Dust, released in June 1995, the duo continued to tour but quickly sought to record new material. Following the release of "Life Is Sweet", the final single from that album, the duo had changed labels from Junior Boy's Own to Virgin Records, a label which, regardless, get credit on their album Exit Planet Dust under the liner notes. The duo released an EP, Loops of Fury in January 1996, of new material and a remix of one of the band's earliest and signature tracks, "Chemical Beats".
The duo met up with Noel Gallagher. They were interested in collaborating for a track. The Chemical Brothers had reportdley given him an instrumental track, who then wrote lyrics for the track. The song was released as the single "Setting Sun" in October 1996. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number one.
