Singles

The first single, "Wild Young Hearts" was released on December 29, 2008. The video premiered on the Noisettes YouTube channel. The song is currently being used in a Danone advert. It is to be re-released later this year, following disappointing download sales the first time.

The second single, "Don't Upset the Rhythm", was released on March 23, 2009 and was featured on the advert for Mazda 2 in January 2009. There are currently two videos for this song, the second of which was released under two months after the first. Because it gained so much popularity during the run of the Mazda advert, the song peaked at #2 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming their best performing and selling single so far. Therefore the song is considered the first single.

The third single, "Never Forget You" was released on the 15 June. Its so far made the A list on XFM, Radio 2, Capital and Q radio. It has also just been added to the C list on Radio 1. The single charted a week before its release at number 68 due to downloads and moved up 20 places to number 48 upon official release. On its second week of release it moved up another 17 places to 31 and another 10 places the third week. The song eventually peaking at 20#..[3]
