[edit] Chart Success

The single narrowly missed out the #1 spot, losing out to Latin pop singer Ricky Martin. Spending 12 weeks on the British charts, this single is the group's only single to fall off the charts for two consecutive weeks and then re-enter.

The single achieved some international success, peaking at #9 in Finland, #18 in New Zealand and #29 in Australia.
