Two edited tracks, Endless Summer and I Will Believe It that were previously recorded under the Siria name will also be featured.

It then climbed back up, and peaked at a comfortable #9, before being knocked out of a weeks spot in the top ten. By the end of the year, the album had sold around 239,000 copies, making it the 64th highest selling album in the UK in 2007.[2] By the beginning of 2008, Perfect Day had already been certified platinum in the UK.[3] The album has currently sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, and is expected to sell even more later on this year.[citation needed] The album was released on March 4, 2008 in the U.S. with a new cover and tracklisting peaked at a #70 in the U.S Billboard 200.[4]
