The Masses Against The Classes was a limited-edition single released by Manic Street Preachers in January 2000 (see 2000 in music), following the success of their year end concert at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium the month before. It reached number one in the UK charts on January 22, 2000, without any promotion by the band and was their second number one single joining "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" (August 24 1998). It was deleted (removed from wholesale supply) on the day of release. It was released as a CD single and 10" both versions also carrying the songs "Close My Eyes" and a cover of Chuck Berry’s "Rock and Roll Music"
A live version of the song has also appeared as a B-side on "Found That Soul" (February 26 2001). Although the song did not originally appear on an album it did make it onto Forever Delayed (October 28, 2002) the greatest hits album as track eleven.
