[edit] Chart success

Three continued the groups momentum from their Angels with Dirty Faces album reaching number three on the UK album charts. The first single "Hole in the Head" was the group's third UK number one single and went to number one in Denmark as well. It reached number two in Ireland and Norway, and top 30 in Australia. The second single "Too Lost in You" went top ten in the UK and Norway. It also went top 40 in Australia. The third single "In the Middle" went top ten in the UK and top twenty in Ireland and top 40 in Europe and Australia. A fourth single was released, called "Caught in a Moment" which also reached the top ten in the UK. In 2004, the first single "Hole In The Head" was serviced to US radio and became a top 30 hit on pop radio. Following the moderate success of the single, the album was due for release with an altered tracklist incorporating additional past hits from the Angels with Dirty Faces album. However, the album was subsequently cancelled when a second single "Too Lost in You" failed to make any impact. Currently, in the UK, the album is certified 3x Platinum by the BPI.
