28 years ago today, Mansun followed up their debut album with SIX. It was a bold, experimental record that reached #6 on the UK Albums Chart and produced four singles, including their biggest hit, "Legacy."

Being A Girl is 28 today!
Trimmed to two minutes for radio, this punchy single refreshed Mansun's sound, charting at #13 in 1998.
Part One brought a radio-friendly jolt, while Part Two unlocked the soaring experimental rock that defined their ambitious second album, Six.
