In April 2005, Imbruglia released her third studio album Counting Down The Days to the UK, which in its first week of sales hit number one on the album charts. The first single from this album was "Shiver." Shiver became her longest running single on the UK Charts since her debut "Torn" and also topped the UK Airplay charts for several weeks. The second single the title track "Counting Down The Days" was released on July 25th and although it did not have as much success in the singles chart as "Shiver" it reignited interest in its parent album, and has been dominating the UK airwaves like it's older sister has. The third single is rumoured to be "Perfectly" and a small tour is scheduled for late October and November.
