A year after the release of their debut album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds released the live video album International Magic Live at the O2, which documented the band's performance at The O2 Arena in February 2012. The album topped the UK Music Video Chart. The follow-up to the band's self-titled debut, Chasing Yesterday, was released in February 2015. The release once again topped the UK Albums Chart. The lead single from the album, "In the Heat of the Moment", reached number 26 on the UK singles chart, although later single releases have reached lower positions on the chart.
