Purple (stylized on the cover art in its Chinese character 紫) is the second studio album by the American rock band Stone Temple Pilots, released on June 7, 1994, by Atlantic Records. The album, building on the foundation laid by the band’s debut album Core (1992), was a major commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 252,000 copies sold in its first week. It remained at the top of the chart for three weeks, eventually selling over six million copies. It spawned a number of successful singles; “Vasoline” and “Interstate Love Song” both topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and reached number 2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, while “Big Empty” also reached the top ten on both charts. Lesser known album cuts “Pretty Penny” and “Unglued” were released as promotional radio singles.
