With the worldwide success of its singles, particularly "Paid My Dues", "One Day in Your Life" and bonus track "Boom" (the 2002 FIFA World Cup official song), and a extensive promotional album tour, Freak of Nature topped the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, while reaching number four in the United Kingdom and the top ten of multiple other countries across Europe and Oceania. The album has sold seven million copies worldwide.[16][17]
