Careful What You Wish For is the 7th album by Glaswegian band Texas, released 20 October 2003. The album went onto achieve gold status in the UK for 100,000 copies sold.[1]
[edit] Release and background
Only two singles were produced from Careful What You Wish For, the success UK Top 10 single, "Carnival Girl" which reached #9 on the UK Singles Charts and was also a hit in other European countries.
A Second single, "I'll See It Through" was released in December 2003. However, the single faired less successful than the release of "Carnival Girl", only debuting at #40 on the UK Singles Charts. After this, record-label, Mercury Records decided not to release a third single from the album, and this led Texas to re-enter the studio to start work on their next album, Red Book (2005).
