The song stayed inside the top ten in "Billboard" Hot 100 for fifteen weeks before peaking at number six on the week ending June 11, 2005. It consequently held the record as the song with the most weeks in the chart's top ten without hitting the top five, before being surpassed by Rihanna's "Needed Me" which spent sixteen weeks in the top ten but only peaked at number seven, eleven years later in 2016.
