Chart Performance
"Number 1" entered the UK Singles Chart on 7 November 2005 at number nine, remaining on the chart for four weeks. Outside of the UK, the song was also successful. It reached number twenty-nine in Ireland and became Goldfrapp's second top fifty single on the singles chart. The song reached the top forty in Italy and the top one-hundred in Germany.
In Canada, the song was released on 1 November 2005, and debuted at number twelve on the singles chart before rising to number seven eighteen weeks later. Although the single sold considerably, "Number 1" did not chart on the Canadian BDS Airplay chart, receiving most of its sales from its fans in the dance clubs. Due to favourable reception, "Number 1" was released in the United States. Goldfrapp had previously found success in the dance clubs with "Strict Machine" (2003), and "Number 1" became their second consecutive release to reach the top of the Billboard Dance Chart. The song also reached number one on the Hot Dance Airplay and Hot Dance Singles Sales charts.

But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
