Chart performance

[edit]

The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No.38 in the UK (where it was entitled "Fool No.1", because the # symbol was not synonymous with the word 'number' for British audiences) in 1961.[3] The song also reached No. 1 in New Zealand[4] and No. 23 in Australia.

The single's B-Side, "Anybody But Me", reached No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5]
