The first single, "Ching Chang Chong" was released on 1 January 2009, and peaked at #15 in the German Top 100. Their follow-up song "Rigga-Ding-Dong-Song", originally by the group Passion Fruit, was also a hit. Both appear in the band's 2009 album ''Sound of Cherona''. The group parted ways in 2010 due to creative differences.
