Phantom Power is the sixth studio album by the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. The album was released in 1998. It won the 1999 Juno Awards for Best Rock Album and Best Album Design.[1]

Songs

The album's first single, "Poets", reached No. 1 on RPM's alternative chart, and stayed there for 12 consecutive weeks,[2] longer than any other song in the history of that chart.

"Bobcaygeon" was also released as a single, and won the Juno Award for Single of the Year in 2000.[3] It has since become recognized as one of the band's most enduring and beloved signature songs.[4]

The song "Escape Is at Hand for the Travellin' Man" is a tribute to Jim Ellison of Material Issue.[5] The band recorded the song "Something On" while stuck in the studio during the ice storm of 1998.

Commercial performance

Phantom Power debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums Chart with 108,000 units sold.[6] By February 1999, the album had sold more than 400,000 copies in Canada.[7] Between 1996 and 2016, Phantom Power was the seventh best-selling album by a Canadian band in Canada.[8] The album has been certified eight times platinum in Canada.[9]

Reissue

In August 2023, the band announced the release of a 25th anniversary box set edition of the album, set for November 23, 2023.[10] Along with remastered versions of the original album's songs, the anniversary edition will also feature a two-disc live set performed at the Metropol in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1998, five outtakes not included on the original album, and seven alternate versions of songs on the album.[11]
