Chart Performance
Released at midnight of February 1, 2007 to European radio stations, "Goodbye to Yesterday" debuted at number 22 on the German Airplay Chart only three days after its release. It eventually reached its peak position of number 14 in its second week, but remained another ten weeks within the top 30 of that particular chart, according to Nielsen Music Control. Following its physical release on March 16, 2007 in German-speaking Europe, the single debuted at number 4 on the German Singles Chart based on composite digital singles and CD singles sales, becoming the No Angels' highest-charting single since 2003's "Feelgood Lies." However, as the song failed to climb any higher during its nine-week chart run, it also became the band's first leading single not to reach the top position on the German Media Control Chart.
In Switzerland, the single opened and peaked at number 16 on the Swiss Singles Chart, where it became the group's highest-charting single since 2002's "Still in Love with You." It remained eight weeks on the chart and eventually emerged as the album's best-selling single there. By contrast, "Goodbye to Yesterday" became the No Angels' lowest-charting single since 2002's "All Cried Out" in Austria. It debuted at number 21 on the Ö3 Austria Top 40 and fell out of the top 100 in its seventh week, also becoming the band's shortest-running single until then. In addition, the track peaked at number 19 on a composite Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart.
Altogether, "Goodbye to Yesterday" sold more than 30,000 copies domestically.

Famous quotes containing the words chart and/or performance:
“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
