Overnight Sensation is the thirteenth studio album by British rock band Motörhead. It was released on 15 October 1996 via Steamhammer, their second on the label. It is their first album to feature a trio line-up since Another Perfect Day (1983). It would also mark the band's last lineup change and longest remaining one prior their dissolution in 2015. Overnight Sensation was also the band's second official record for CMC International. Sacrifice (1995) had already been issued in the US, but the label proved itself with Overnight Sensation and it became the best-distributed record the band had for some time. It charted in Germany, Sweden and Finland.
