Empire is the second album by English rock band Kasabian, released on 28 August 2006 in the United Kingdom. The album went straight to #1 in the UK Albums Chart upon its release and was preceded by the release of new single "Empire" on 24 July 2006 (see 2006 in British music).
The album was recorded over two weeks after touring with Oasis. According to Tom Meighan in an interview on the album with the NME in early 2006, Empire is a word used by the band to describe something that is good. To date the album has sold 895,000 copies worldwide, including 556,400 in the UK.
The song "Stuntman" was used in the film Green Street, and is also played during Sky Sports' Premiership coverage. The song Sun Rise Light Flies appears in the last scene/closing credits of episode 101 of the HBO show "John From Cincinnati"
