The second single from the album was released inSeptember 2003 and was called "Superstar", a much poppier effort, which entered the UK Singles Chart at #8, but climbed as high as #3 inOctober 2003 . The single was later officially certified Silver in early2004 and was her second UK top 10 hit [http://www.bpi.co.uk/platinum/platinumright.asp?rq=search_plat&r_id=31426] . However, when this first version of the album was released, it only managed to peak as high as #65 on theUK Albums Chart . The album cover's font had a paint-brush affect but the font design was later changed for version two along with a slight change to the colour scheme of the cover photo.Version 2
After the success of the "Superstar" single, "Thank You" was re-released in
March 2004 with a slight alteration to the artwork, two brand new tracks and a re-ordered track listing. The album was re-issued after the success of the title track of the album, which appeared in a slightly new version here, with a properoutro instead of a faded one. The album's two new tracks later became the fourth and fifth singles from the album, these tracks were "See It In a Boy's Eyes ", co-written withChris Martin of "Coldplay " and "DJ". This version of the album was a huge success, creating a new peak of #4 in theUK Albums Chart . The album was certified Gold by the BPI onMarch 5 ,2004 , only 5 days after the album's first re-issue.

The track listing had no alterations, despite the fact that the final single of the album was a
double A-side of album track "DJ" and a non-album cover of Sam Brown's "Stop", which was used as the theme for "".
