Commercial Performance
Despite the single receiving minor airplay in the U.S., "The Greatest" received much play in clubs and so it debuted at number fifty-four on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart before eventually peaking at number one – becoming Williams' second consecutive, top 5 hit on the chart. "The Greatest" also peaked at number twenty-five on the Billboard Global Dance Tracks chart. The song was listed at number thirty-nine on Billboard's decade-end (2000–2009) Hot Dance Club Songs chart, just behind "Lose My Breath" which Williams recorded as a member of Destiny's Child five years prior.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or performance:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
