In a statement, lead singer Tom Chaplin said “I remember standing by that amazing old mixing desk at Heliocentric Studios where we made Hopes and Fears, listening to an early mix of “Somewhere Only We Know.” I had this feeling that we’d come up with something that had an extra bit of magic. Making music is so often a process full of doubt…but on this occasion there was something undeniable about what we’d created. Clearly a lot of people felt the same when the album came out!”
The remastered version of Hopes and Fears is set to be released on May 10, 2024, exactly 20 years after its initial release. The record is one of the bestselling albums in U.K. chart history, having sold over 2.5 million in the U.K. in its first year and a million in the U.S. Today, Hopes and Fears is 9x platinum in the U.K.
The album’s reach was propelled by the success of the single “Somewhere Only We Know,” which is still finding a new generation of listeners today, having just recently had a viral moment on TikTok in Indonesia. In the past 12 months the track has become Island Records’ biggest selling single, and in total it has been streamed over a billion times.
