On 21 September 1998, the group released "Rollercoaster" as their second single from the album, following "C'est la Vie" four months earlier.[1][2] With first-week sales of 157,000,[3] the track debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart in October 1998 and stayed there for another week. It also reached number one in Australia and New Zealand in November 1998.
The group made a video for the song, with intertwining shots featuring all four girls traveling through space or dancing in front of, and on, a roller coaster and boxing a strongman on a fair's boxing booth.[4]
