It eventually went 5x Platinum in Australia (selling over 350,000 copies) and won the ARIA Award for Album of the Year at the ARIA Music Awards of 2000. Upon its release in early 2000, "Reflector" became the fastest-selling album in Australian music history.

The First single released in 1999 was Weir. It stayed inside the Australian top 50 singles chart for 26 weeks, peaking at 6 and certifying Platinum. In 2000, Mascara was released as the second single. Then 3 weeks after the initial release the single was re-released with a b-side (Leave Me Alone) and that shot the single to #1 for 3 consecutive weeks. Though Mascara outsold Weir, Weir is recognised as a teen anthem and fans favourite. Also released in 2000 was Live Without It, which managed to get to #5 on the chart and certifying Gold. Although making an impact on the chart it failed to maintain in the charts and fell out after 9 weeks. Also in 2000 was the fourth single Superman Supergirl, which failed to make the top 50. Many think that the poor performence was because of the lack of promotion.
