A major success, it reached the top five in Austria and Germany, where it was certified platinum and 7× gold, respectively.

As with "Das Beste", the album's third single and Silbermond's first number-one hit, it reached the top of the charts in Austria and Germany and was eventually certified 3× platinum by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI).

It produced three singles, including "Irgendwas bleibt", Silbermond's second number-one hit, and "Krieger des Lichts", which reached the top ten in Germany.

It reached the top ten in Austria and Switzerland and was certified gold by the BVMI.
