1916 is the ninth studio album by the band Motörhead, released 26 February 1991, on WTG Records (a subsidiary of Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music International), their first with the label.^[1][2][3] 1916 reached number 24 in UK charts and number 142 in the US. The single "The One to Sing the Blues" peaked at #45.

In 1990, Motörhead vocalist and bassist Lemmy Kilmister moved from England to the U.S., settling in West Hollywood within walking distance of the Rainbow Bar and Grill. With Phil Carson managing the band, the sessions for what would become the album 1916 began with Ed Stasium, who was best known for producing Living Colour. In the studio the band recorded four songs with the producer before deciding he had to go. When Lemmy listened to one of the mixes of Going to Brazil, he asked for him to turn up four tracks, and on doing so heard claves and tambourines Stasium had added without the band's knowledge. Stasium was fired and Pete Solley was hired as producer.^[8] According to Stasium, Lemmy's drug and alcohol intake had far exceeded the limitations of Stasium's patience so he quit.
