When the New Zealand music television channel C4 used "My House" on one of its advertising campaigns, the song quickly became very popular in New Zealand, and peaked at #3 on the New Zealand Top 40 singles chart in June 2009.

The song was certified Gold after eight weeks on the chart, selling over 7,500 copies.
