  • "Gone" Although never officially released as a single, Top 40 radio stations began playing the song around November 2005, and it has gained significant airplay on such stations as New York's Z100, Boston's Kiss 108 and Atlanta's Q100. Because of this, "Gone" managed to chart on the Pop 100 Airplay at #41 and the Pop 100 at #77. "Gone" has a Spanish version called "Me Voy" (I Leave) sung by successful-Mexican pop band RBD.
