Mills had three hits on the UK Singles Chart in the early 1960s.[2] Released on Top Rank Records in 1960, these were "Look for a Star" (charted at No 7) and "Top Teen Baby" (No. 24). "I'll Step Down", released on Decca in 1961, charted at No. 39.[2][3] In the United States, "Look for a Star" reached No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4]
