Charts

The single only made number thirty-two in UK singles charts, the group's lowest charting to date. It has sold to date 15,000 copies in the UK, making 'Soul Sound' (their previous lowest charting single) look like a success in comparison; 'Soul Sound' made the UK Top 30. Despite "Soul Sound's" higher peak position of #30 it is still the group's lowest selling single to date selling 10,000 copies in the UK while "Follow me home" has sold a higher number.


Even though the single failed to get realised in Europe, it did manage to chart in Asian countries like Indonesia and The Philippines. It charted in the official top 100 charts in both countries, but charted at low positions and it was not commercially realised as a cd single, only as digital single.
