[edit] Chart success

Angels with Dirty Faces did considerably better than its predecessor, One Touch with a highest position in the UK Album Charts of number two; it stayed in the charts for forty weeks. "Freak like Me", which samples Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?", was the first released single and entered the UK Singles Chart at number one. "Round Round", produced by Xenomania, was the second released single and also debuted on the UK chart at number one. The third single released was a double A-side release of "Stronger" and "Angels with Dirty Faces", which reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart. The last single, "Shape", which samples Sting's single "Shape of My Heart", was the only one from the album not to achieve a position in the top ten of the UK Singles Chart; it entered at number eleven. The song, however, did reach the top ten in Poland (number one), Ireland (number nine) and the Netherlands (number ten).
