Info "Calling" (help·info)

"Calling" was the third and last single to be released from the album "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster". Just like the previous single, "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster", success was limited. "Calling" went to number seven when released on 26th November 2001 with 28,000 sales in its first week - altogether, the single sold 66,000 copies - the 192nd best seller of 2001. This single did little to help the sales of the album, as it was quite poorly promoted. The poor chart position was rumoured to have upset Geri - "Calling" was her favourite song on the album, and she thought it was a sure-fire number one. Because of this, no further singles from "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" were released, and Geri took a break from music while living in Los Angeles for several months. The song reached number twenty-five on the United World Chart based on Sales, Airplay & Votes in February 16th 2002 and spent 14 weeks inside the chart.[1]

In certain region, the song was released in a french version (Quebec, France) and an adapted video.
