No. 4 (typeset as №4) is the fourth album released by Stone Temple Pilots, on October 26, 1999, by Atlantic Records. The album was a return to the band's earlier hard rock roots, while also blending elements of heavy metal, psychedelic rock, and alternative rock. No. 4 was certified Platinum by the RIAA on August 7, 2000,[1] despite the lack of promotion due to singer Scott Weiland's one-year jail sentence in September 1999, shortly before the album's release. The song "Down" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the Grammy Awards. The album also produced one of STP's biggest hits, "Sour Girl", which charted at #78 on the Hot 100, their only song to appear on that chart. The CD was originally released as a digipak, then later changed to a standard jewel case.
