Chart entry tracks included "Son Of A Gun" (1994), which gave him his first Top 20 entry at number 13 in the UK Singles Chart, "There's Nothing I Won't Do" (1996), which was his biggest hit, reaching number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, "You Belong To Me" (1995) (number 17) and most recently "Restless", which charted at number 22 in 2004.
