''Famous in the Last Century'' is the twenty-fourth studio album by the British rock band Status Quo, released in 2000 to largely negative reviews. According to the band's autobiography, the idea to record it came from their manager David Walker, who said that they should celebrate the millennium with an album containing twenty of their favourite hits from the last century. To quote leader Francis Rossi, 'Or, put another way, another bloody covers album! We went along with it, as usual, but inside I felt like a fraud...for me it was the worst Quo album there had ever been - or ever will be!'() Ironically it still reached No. 19 in the UK Albums Chart, a better position than the previous Status Quo album of mainly original material, ''Under the Influence''. Two singles from it, "Mony Mony" and "Old Time Rock and Roll", were minor hits. Jeff Rich left the band after recording of this album. He was replaced by Matt Letley A DVD of the same name and featuring the same songs was filmed at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on 27 March 2000.
