Right after the release it debuted at number 2, and ended 2004 after more three weeks at number 1;[1] it started 2005 as number 4, and reached number 1 again in December 2005, after spending 10 weeks on the official Finnish charts.[2] Today the single has reached Gold Disc status in Finland with more than 7 thousand copies sold.[3]
