Though not as strong as its sales tallies, the single also experienced considerable airplay, becoming one of her top ten hits on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. The track spent thirty-two weeks on the Hot 100 (her longest run on the chart), with a vast majority (twenty-nine) of these weeks within the top forty.

 

Internationally, it was a similarly huge hit when released in 1999, reaching the top spot in every European country (including the UK) and also ascending to the summit in other countries, such as Canada and Australia.

 

Spears broke a first-week sales record for a debut act when "...Baby One More Time" sold a total of 464,000 in its first week of release in the UK, the single went on to sell 1.45 million making it the biggest selling single of 1999 in the UK , and until 2002 the best selling debut single ever in the UK.
