Chart performance

"Shout" debuted at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart on 13 June 2010, based on download sales alone, beating competition from "Frisky" by Tinie Tempah and fellow World Cup song "Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix)" by K'naan. It sold well over 100,000 copies in its first chart week despite only being available for four days (its download was released on Wednesday, and the UK chart surveys from Sunday to Saturday). All royalties from the single went to Great Ormond Street Hospital. On 17 June 2010 it entered the Irish singles chart at 41. The song spent a second week atop the chart on 20 June. The song was knocked off the top spot by Katy Perry's "California Gurls" on 27 June. A remix of the song was released on 20 June 2012 for the Euros 2012 and peaked at number 43 on the UK iTunes chart.
