It sold an excess 667,000 copies in the United Kingdom[12] and was certified platinum.[13] It also charted on UK Top 100 Songs of the Decade.[14] "Now You're Gone" also stayed at the top for five weeks in Ireland, made it to number 2 on the Swedish chart,[15] and number 3 in New Zealand (single was certified platinum[16]).[17] On the French singles chart, "Now You're Gone" peaked at number 6.[18] "Now You're Gone" also charted at number 4 on the European Hot 100 Singles.[19] His 2007 second solo studio album Jumpstyle Madness charted at number 51 on the Dutch albums chart.[20] The next single "Say You'll Stay" with Bazzheadz alias was released in 2008 and reached number 21 on the Dutch singles chart.[21]
