Cieli di Toscana sold millions of copies in a few weeks after its release, and quickly become the biggest selling album in the world in 2001, No. 1 on the CNN Worldbeat Global Album Chart.[1]

In the United States, the album peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 85,000 units sold in its first week,[3] and blew through 177,000 copies over Christmas week of 2001, Bocelli's best sales week in America, at the time.[4][5] That record stood for the following 8 years, until My Christmas, Bocelli's first Holiday album, was released in late 2009 and achieved better sales weeks. The album performed better on six consecutive weeks during the Holiday season, with 185,000, 218,000, 428,000, 400,000, 390,000, and 284,000 copies sold on each, in the United States.

The album topped the charts in Sweden and the Netherlands,[2] and reached the top 3 in at least 8 other countries,[1][2] including the UK, where it spent two weeks at No. 3 on the albums chart, Bocelli's highest chart position in the country to date, and the highest chart position ever for a foreign-language pop album.[1]
