The single did very well in almost all countries of the world, and was no. 1 in most of those countries. The song remained in the US stuck at no. 2 so Soeur Sourire Dominique of there remained the biggest hit ofBelgian soil. In total, from "Pump up the jam" sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide.
