Invincible is the second studio album by English pop rap band Five. Released in the United Kingdom on 8 November 1999, the album reached number four on the UK Albums Chart, the lowest-charting original album by the band, but went on to become their biggest seller, being certified double-Platinum.[2][3] The album was later released in the United States on 16 May 2000, reaching number 108 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.[4]

Four singles were released from Invincible, including the UK Singles Chart-topping "Keep on Movin'" and "We Will Rock You".[2] Executive produced by Simon Cowell and Richard "Biff" Stannard, a special edition of the album was released in 2000 featuring five track recorded during the band's Invincible Tour at the Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester on 26 March 2000.[5]
