The It Girl (album)

The It Girl is the second studio album by English Britpop band Sleeper, released in May 1996 (see 1996 in music). It was their most successful album, selling over 300,000 copies in the UK alone. The album was released internationally; the US version has a different track listing along with alternative photos in the liner booklet. It was recorded in London over the winter of 1995 and 1996.

Critical reception
Jack Rabid of AllMusic wrote that while "nothing is quite the total knockout of Smart's 'Inbetweener,' The It Girl is more consistently accomplished, with a broader palette of influences".
