Pet is the debut album by New Zealand rock band, Fur Patrol, released on 24 September 2000.[5]

Chart performance[]

Pet debuted on the New Zealand Albums Chart on 29 October 2000 at number fourteen,[6] before peaking the next week at number seven.[7] After six weeks in the chart, it slipped out of the top fifty. The release of the second single, "Lydia", prompted the album to re-enter the chart at number forty-four on 17 December 2000. Pet spent a total of thirty weeks in the chart.[8]

Singles[]

Pet spawned five singles. "Now" and "Holy", the album's first two singles, were not commercially successful, failing to appear on any record chart. The third single, "Lydia", went to number-one on the New Zealand Singles Chart on 24 December 2000, succeeding "Independent Women Part I" by Destiny's Child.[9] The song spent one week in the top spot,[nb 1] knocked off by the Backstreet Boys' "Shape of My Heart".[10] "Lydia" spent nineteen weeks in the chart.[11] "Andrew" (which was initially called "Sorry" on the media reference CD of 4/5/2000) peaked at number twenty-four on the singles chart, spending a total of fifteen weeks there,[3] while "Spinning a Line", the album's fifth and final single, spent three weeks in the New Zealand Singles Chart, peaking at number forty.[4]
