[edit] Chart positions

The "Who's That Girl" single was not as well received as "Be Mine!" in Sweden, peaking at number thirty-seven in the Swedish singles chart. The song was the third biggest hit from the Robyn album there. In the UK, "Who's That Girl" reached number twenty-six on the singles chart, and although a medium sized hit this could be blamed on a large proportion of people already having bought her album, therefore single sales started to drop in Spring 2008 in the UK.

Chart	Peak position
