Kasabian aren’t exactly known for modesty or a lack of confidence, and their latest claim about new album ‘48:13’ certainly won’t do anything to change that.
Chatting to Huff Post UK ahead of their live performance at the tiny London HMV Studio, lead singer Tom Meighan told us that he doesn’t see why their fourth album won’t top the Official Charts.

Kasabian perform at HMV's Oxford Street store
When we posed the question of whether ‘48:13’ will come out on top at the end of this week, Tom didn’t hesitate at all before nodding and simply stating: “Yeah. Definitely.”
Alongside bucket loads of confidence though, Kasabian also have something of a blase attitude to reviews and other people’s opinions - you can’t exactly imagine Tom and Serge Pizzorno sat by the radio excitedly waiting to hear if they’re number one.
So yes, Tom might be certain the record will top Official Album Chart - but does he really care?
“All we do is make music and put it out there,” he shrugs. “If it works, it works, y’know?
“In fact I don’t really f***ing care enough. If I was 21, I’d be desperate!”

Just 200 people saw Kasabian's acoustic session
At the HMV performance, Kasabian were performing just three of the tracks from ‘48:13’, but which of the record’s 13 songs is the one they think is truly special?
For once Tom deliberates for a short while but when his response comes, it’s as self-assured as anyone would expect - though he does have trouble putting his finger on what makes his chosen track so great.
“Um, ‘Bow,’” he decides. “It’s a really good song. It’s just beautiful. Everything about it’s just… wow!”
Kasabian will perform a homecoming gig in Leicester later this month, before headlining Glastonbury Music Festival.
