In April, "Get Lucky" entered the [[UK Singles Chart]] at No. 3, only 24 hours after its release, and two weeks later rose to No. 1.  In an interview with [[Official Charts Company]], Rodgers said, "I've had big records and Number 1s; I have had records that were Number 1 in the United States but nowhere else ... I've had records which have done well [in the UK], but not in the States. But to have this ubiquitous record, that is a hit everywhere ... It's amazing to me! I'm out on the road and I can hear it wherever I go. I'm flabbergasted!"  "Get Lucky" became one of the UK's biggest-selling singles of all time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/daft-punks-get-lucky-becomes-one-of-the-uks-biggest-selling-singles-of-all-time-2315|title=Get Lucky becomes one of the UK's biggest selling singles of all-time!|publisher=Officialcharts.com|date=June 27, 2013|access-date=August 10, 2014}}</ref>
