"Summer Rain" spent 11 weeks at number one in the Australian ARIA Dance charts. Their second single "Closer" was also a Top 10 ARIA Chart Dance hit and Top 40 Australian ARIA Music Chart Hit. Slinkee Minx also performed at the 20th Anniversary SAFM Sky Show in Adelaide in front of approximately 150,000 people along with Guy Sebastian one of the largest open air concerts held in Australia in 2005.
