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.

Shayne Ward version
"No Promises" is the second single from the second United Kingdom X Factor winner Shayne Ward. It was released on 10 April 2006.
The song reached number two in the UK Singles Chart and number four in the UK Official Download Chart. In addition, the B-sides, "A Million Love Songs" and "Unchained Melody" reached numbers 85 and 100 respectively in the Download Chart. "No Promises" was Ward's second number one single in the Republic of Ireland and was the UK's sixteenth best selling single of 2006. Although neither the album nor the single have been released in Brazil, the song received expressive airplays on adult-pop oriented radios, such as Antena 1 and Alpha FM, two of the most listened radios in the country. The song was similarly heavily airplayed on Lebanese radios in spite of a non official physical release making it practically the biggest hit for the singer in this country. It has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK. The video features Allie Crandell who appeared alongside Whitney Port in her MTV spin-off The City. "No Promises" was performed on the last regular editions of CD:UK and Top of the Pops Reloaded in 2006.
