Vehicles & Animals peaked at number 19 on the UK Albums chart [62] and by February 2005, it had sold 240,000 copies in the UK. [63] "You Got the Style" reached number 37 in the UK singles chart and at number 41 in Scotland. [62] [64] The re-released version charted at number 42 in the UK. [62] "Beautiful" peaked at number 41 in the UK and at number 49 in Scotland. [62] [65] "El Salvador" reached number 31 in the UK and number 40 in Scotland. [62] [66] "Westside" charted at number 42 in the UK and at number 53 in Scotland. [62] [67] The band has been lovingly nurtured by their Record label, Parlophone, in the same way that a manager would take care of his new star striker. Their debut appearance, "The Athlete EP", came over a year ago. Since then two single releases have given us a taster of things to come. And now the album gives the fans what they've been waiting for. Parlophone gave Athlete plenty of time to refine their sound so that they could produce an album they were completely happy with. If only more bands were afforded such luxury the music industry might be in a healthier state. AthleteVevo (1 August 2018). Athlete - You Got The Style. Archived from the original on 8 July 2022 .
