One by One is the fourth album by Foo Fighters, released in 2002. It was the first album to feature Chris Shiflett on guitar (he is the band's current lead guitarist, and he is also a guitarist in Jackson United and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and was previously a guitarist for No Use for a Name). There are two versions of this album released, one with a white cover (CD only) and another with a black cover (CD and limited edition DVD). The Limited Edition bonus DVD includes Audio and Video Versions (Stereo and 5. 1 Mixes) of the tracks "All My Life" and "Walking a Line", Audio Only Versions (Stereo and 5. 1 Mixes) of "The One" and Other Special Features.

One by One won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2004. The album gave Foo Fighters their first UK #1 album and a # 3 peak in the US. As of June 2005, One By One has sold 1.2 million units in the United States. However, lead singer Dave Grohl has stated that it is his least favorite album: "Four of the songs were good, and the other seven I never played again in my life. We rushed into it, and we rushed out of it."
