[edit] Chart performance
When the video for "Someday" initially hit TRL's airwaves and online music outlets in June 2005, it was met with a positive response. However, before long, the song and its video dropped in popularity. Consequently, it's no wonder why the single never made an appearance on the charts in the U.S. seeing as "Someday" was only made available for legal downloading some three months after its accompanying video reached its peak of popularity.
No release date was set for "Someday" in major international markets such as the UK and Australia, though the single did receive airplay in areas of Asia, Oceania and continental Europe, including Austria and Switzerland and Mexico. The video was a hit on MTV Brazil reaching number 1 on the Top 20, similar to TRL in Brazil and reached #1 on MTV "Los 10+Pedidos" in Mexico (Mexican TRL) for several days. the song reached #34 on the Mexican Airplay charts.
