The album remained there for the first three weeks of 2013, being displaced by Glen Campbell's Ghost on the Canvas, before returning to the peak the following week and again on 7 April, spending its thirty ninth total week at number one. Campbell would also return to the top of the charts, spending three weeks there with See You There, for a total of four weeks at number one across both albums. The Mavericks also held the top spot for four weeks with their seventh studio album In Time, their fourth UK chart topper.
