Singles Success and Chart Performance
The first single of the album released was "Downtown" which proved to be a successful opening single, reaching No. 75 in Australia, and its video clip humoursly containing a puppet of Lloyd, as he couldn't be available to shoot the video clip. The second single, "Amazing" however proved to be Lloyds first major breakthrough, reaching No. 14 in Australia, stayed in the top fifty for 21 weeks and had gold sales. "Amazing" did even better in New Zealand, reaching No. 1 and staying the top fifty for 22 weeks. "Amazing" was a minor hit in The Netherlands, where it reached No. 91 and stayed in the top 100 for 5 weeks. "Amazing" was also Lloyds first song to enter the top 200 in the UK, peaking at No. 176. In 2002, Lloyd released two more singles "Green" and "Everybody's Laughing" both of which entered the top forty in Australia. "Green" peaked at No. 25, staying in the top fifty for 7 weeks while "Everybody's Laughing" peaked at No. 33, and stayed in the top fifty for one week. Late in 2002, Lloyd realised the fifth and final single of the album "Bus Ride", although it didn't enter the top fifty, the song still proved to be successful and it was released to celebrate Lloyd's marriage to his wife, Amelia.
