Do The Bartman - Chart Performance

Chart Performance

While the song was never officially released as a single in the United States, it was very successful in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom, countries where it peaked at number one on the singles chart. In 1991 it was the number one song in the United Kingdom for three weeks from February 16 to March 9 and was the seventh best-selling song of the year. "Do The Bartman" has shipped at least 400,000 units in the United Kingdom and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry on February 1, 1991. The song's success in the United Kingdom was remarkable, given that at that time The Simpsons had not yet been shown on British terrestrial television, and was not for a further five years. In Ireland, "Do The Bartman" spent nine weeks at number one on the Irish Singles Chart from January 24, 1991 to March 24, 1991. Only seven singles have ever managed a longer run at number one in that country. The song also charted at number-one on New Zealands RIANZ Singles Chart on the issue date of January 25, 1991, and peaked at number-one on the chart again, for a total of two weeks, from February 8, 1991 to February 15, 1991.

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)

    True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
