In here we will attempt to give you a run down on the bands chart successes & failures, cause yes, there has been some!! It is quite difficult to gather all this information from around the world on their singles & albums - so we're not going too!!! (;0p) But, what will be doing is giving you their chart statistics & sale figures for Europe, most specifically Ireland & the UK.
Why? I hear you ask just these two countries.
Well for a start the bands main success over the years has been in the UK. Its where they were 'discovered' by the listening public, and basically, its where they sold most of their stuff. As for Ireland, well the reason Ireland is thrown ito the mix is because this is an Irish run website - yes folks im Irish!!! So it makes sense from my point of view to have a record for here. Also, for those who don't know, Ireland is next door to the UK, so we have very similar listening & buying habits when it comes to music!!!
So here we go....

Notes
*I Can't Decide was not released as a single, though it did chart in the UK after it was featured in an episode of the BBC1 drama 'Doctor Who' - 'Last OF The Timelords', which features actor 'John Simms' playing 'The Master' who dances & mocks the doctor while 'I Can't Decide' plays in the background. Sales are entirely digital.
'
Lights' was released as a limited edition (300 copies) to fans only in 2007. Hence it did not chart.
† 'The Demo Album' has not officially been released, but is said to be the basis of the bands debut album release. Some tracks differ on the demo form the finished released album. Check out the discography section for more details.
