The high energy song peaked at No. 6 on the Alternative Airplay chart and No. 11 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The RIAA has now certified the song platinum for one million certified units.

It topped the Alternative Airplay chart and hit No. 10 on the Mainstream Rock chart after being released as a single on Sept. 4, 2008.
