''Gary'' is the fifth studio album by English indie pop band Blossoms. It was released on 20 September 2024 through Odd SK Recordings. The album was supported by the singles "What Can I Say After I'm Sorry?", "Gary", "Perfect Me" and "I Like Your Look". The album and title track were named after a fibreglass gorilla statue of the same name, which was stolen from a garden centre in Lanarkshire, Scotland in 2023. It debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, becoming the band's fourth UK number-one album, with 21,884 copies sold in its first week in the UK. The album also debuted atop the UK's Vinyl Albums Chart and Record Store Chart, and was noted for having 86% of its total debut sales coming from physical formats. Alongside the main album, two physical-only special editions were released. One was a deluxe edition featuring nine bonus tracks. The other was "Gary's Covers", featuring renditions of songs by Whitney Houston, The Real Thing, Radiohead, Mario, Neil Diamond, Caroline Polachek, Lady Gaga, and Bob Marley. " I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and " So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings" were released as subsequent singles digitally. "Gary's Covers" later saw a full digital release on 20 December 2024. On 28 February 2025, "Mariah Carey Through Death Valley" was released as the lead single of a forthcoming digital release of the deluxe edition.
