Wake Up (Hilary Duff Song) - Chart Performance

Chart Performance

In the United States, "Wake Up" was released to mainstream top 40 radio on July 12, 2005, Largely because of high digital download sales, the single entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number twenty-nine in mid-August, the week's highest debut. It spent two weeks in the top forty and six on the Hot 100, and it also reached the top forty on Billboard's Pop 100 chart. In October 2005, the RIAA certified "Wake Up" gold for its download sales.

"Wake Up" was more successful outside the U.S. It was released in the UK in late October and debuted at number seven, Duff's highest position on the singles chart there; it stayed in the top forty for six weeks. In Ireland, it peaked inside the top five in its third week, and in Australia, it reached number fifteen, remaining in the top forty for eleven weeks. Its success across most of continental Europe was limited: in Norway, it reached the top five, but it peaked outside the top twenty in France (where it remained on the chart for nineteen weeks), Switzerland, and the Netherlands, and it did not reach the top forty in Sweden, Austria or Germany. "Wake Up" is the second most successful song by any artist in the Hollywood Records label in the UK, with the highest peak position at number seven. The song received heavy rotation on UK radio stations and music channels, the song is still played every so often on UK airwaves.

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 way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
