"Sunshine" is the second single released from Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates' second studio album, Go Your Own Way (2003). The single was released on 8 September 2003 and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. This was the second single from Gates that failed to reach the top spot. The promotional video was infamously available to vote to enter the MTV2 viewers chart despite the channel being entirely an alternative rock format. It gained under 10 votes and was included to vote on as a joke.[ citation needed ]
