Chart Performance
The popularity of the single leading up to the Eurovision Song Contest, and the positive critical reception received, ensured the commercial success of "Secret Combination" as a CD and radio single in Greece and Cyprus. The song topped the Greek Singles Chart and Digital Singles Chart for two weeks, before being knocked-off by Madonna’s and Justin Timberlake’s "4 Minutes" to second place.
Elsewhere, "Secret Combination" was released solely as a digital download from February 26, 2008, where the song became fairly successful in Europe considering it was never released physically nor to radio stations.
On national charts, "Secret Combination" peaked in the Finish Download Chart at #29 and entered many European singles charts, despite not having a physical release in those countries, thus charting on downloads alone. On 29 May 2008 the song debuted at #50 in the Swedish Top 60 Chart and peaked at #38 the following week. Additionally, on 30 May 2008 the song debuted at #29 on the Danish Singles Top 40 and in the Irish Singles Chart at #46. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted on the midweek chart at #33 but by 2 June 2008 had reached #71 in the week-end chart. Elsewhere in Europe, the song peaked at #18 in Turkey’s Billboard Top 20 Chart, at #19 in the Belgian Ultratip Chart due to digital sales and airplay (specifically, in Flanders).
