Don't Look Any Further - Chart Performance

Chart Performance

Don't Look Any Further received very positive reception from critics. The single became the fourth consecutive top 10 hit for the band and their third consecutive Top 10 from the Elegant Slumming album. It charted and peaked at number 9, spending five weeks in the Top 20 with weekly sales starting at 82,000 copies and it continued to sell over 60,000 copies in each of the following four weeks as it moved from 9 to 11 to 12 to 14 to 19. In its sixth week there was a minor a surge in sales to climb two places to 17 to 27 to 44 to 52 to 70.

The Dennis Edwards original only charted as high as number 45 in the UK.

The song spent a total of 10 weeks on the chart, leaving in early February 1994, so "Don't Look Any Further" had the second longest chart sojourn of any M People single, after the 11 weeks of both predecessor singles. Elsewhere, they secured their second consecutive Top 5 hit in New Zealand where it peaked at number 4 and stayed in the chart for 18 weeks. In Switzerland it took the single seven weeks to peak at number 23, but stayed in the Swiss Top 40 for 18 weeks in total.
