The Boy Bands Have Won[a] is the thirteenth studio album by British music group Chumbawamba, released in 2008.

Themes addressed on this album include suicide bombers, Philip Larkin, social networking websites, surviving a firing squad, evolution, and the pains of the workplace.

The album was recorded by the five-piece line-up of Jude Abbott, Lou Watts, Boff Whalley, Neil Ferguson, and Phil "Ron" Moody and features guest appearances by several other artists.

The album's full title (decapitalized) reads:The boy bands have won, and all the copyists and the tribute bands and the TV talent show producers have won, if we allow our culture to be shaped by mimicry, whether from lack of ideas or from exaggerated respect.

But don't just regurgitate creative history, or hold art and music and literature as fixed, untouchable and kept under glass.
