Rare are the opportunities helping to establish a fan base in the United States for an artist that is so established in the UK. As the leader of the successful boy band called Busted, it was a shock to many when he quit and joined an alt band Fightstar. Though this group attained commercial success Charlie again decided to reinvent himself as a solo artist. This re-invention has not gone unnoticed; debuting on the UK album charts at #6, selling 75,000 units to date, seven videos that have garnered over 2.7 million YouTube views, 75,000 Twitter followers and 40,000 Facebook likes.
