Upon its release on 6 May 2002, "Something About Us" became the band's third single to debut on the top position of the German Singles Chart, as well as the group's third non-consecutive number-one hit within a period of sixteen months. It remained on top of the chart for four consecutive weeks, seven weeks in the top ten, and sixteen weeks inside the top 100, making its last appearance on the chart one week prior to the entry of follow-up single "Still in Love with You". It received a platinum certification by the German arm of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. However, the song was one of a total of eleven number-one hits that year, but failed to reach the top ten of the biggest-selling singles of the year and was eventually ranked eleventh on the German year-end chart.
