They began recording Some Friendly shortly after with producer \u003cstrong\u003eChris Nagle\u003c\/strong\u003e. The blistering lead single, “\u003cem\u003eThe Only One I Know\u003c\/em\u003e” was their first top-10 hit, and is still their most popular song. The song has recently been getting even more attention for its use in the popular Netflix series \u003cem\u003eRun Away\u003c\/em\u003e. Two additional singles followed with “\u003cem\u003eThen\u003c\/em\u003e” and “\u003cem\u003eSproston Green\u003c\/em\u003e”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band’s success comes not just from their ability to be able to ride the groove but also from their talent for writing standout songs. These were the gifts that made them among the greatest British survivors of our time, rolling through tragedy and stylistic changes to amass a terrific body of work - one that was modern enough to play in clubs but classicist enough to stand the test of time, and one that continues to grow to this day. Last year they released their 14th studio album \u003cem\u003eWe Are Love\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Revisiting ‘\u003cem\u003eSome Friendly\u003c\/em\u003e’ turns out to be the best evidence that, whether anyone realised it at the time or not, the Charlatans were thoroughly versed in being enduring, and endearing, from the off.”- \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Quietus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Only One I Know\u003c\/em\u003e remains a classic and performs the near-impossible trick of sounding as good today as any of the Roses’ singles ever did – right down to a stinging guitar solo.
