Stone Temple Pilots - Purple -super Deluxe- Rem... Jun 2026
Purple debuted at and held the top spot for three weeks, cementing the band’s place as one of the definitive acts of their generation. It has since sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone. The album produced the massive hits "Interstate Love Song" and "Vasoline," both of which topped the Mainstream Rock chart—with "Interstate Love Song" holding the record for 15 weeks.

Tracks like "Big Empty (Naked Version)" and "The Crow & the Butterfly" provide a fascinating look at STP's ability to craft different versions of their songs, while rarities like "DTLA" and "Miss the Misery" highlight the band's diverse influences and musical exploration.
