Chart performance
The song spent three non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Danish Airplay Chart. The song did not chart on the singles chart, because the chart did not allow singles only available as digital download to chart until 2007. In January 2007, "No Promises" was certified platinum by IFPI Denmark for sales of 15,000 digital downloads.[2]
