In North America, Almo Sounds serviced "Push It" to alternative radio on March 30, 1998. Several radio stations jumped the add date for "Push It", even though Almo served cease and desist orders. Almo's campaign for "Push It" centered around breaking the single at alternative radio, as the format had strongly supported the band before. The label weren't too concerned whether or not "Push It" would crossover into Top 40 radio as they had confidence in the album's follow-up singles. In its first week, "Push It" became the #1 Most Added record on the alternative format and debuted in mid-April as the highest new entry on Modern Rock at number 25. The same week "Push It" debuted at number 72 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. The following chart saw "Push It" rocket into the Modern Rock top 10 at number eight with an "Airpower" status (meaning the song had registered over 900 detections for the first time). Almo released a limited edition pressing of "Push It" on CD to record stores in both the States and Canada on April 21. At the end of that week, the physical release debuted at number 63 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart and at number 52 on the "Billboard" Hot 100. The song also reached an airplay peak of number 56 as it rose to number five on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. At alternative, "Push It" remained at that position for the rest of May.
