Commercial performance

Jump on Board performed well commercial in the band's native Scotland, debuting at number one on the Scottish Album Charts. [10] The album performed well in both the United Kingdom and France, where it debuted within the top ten of both album charts, while it debuted on the French Albums Charts at number one, giving the band their eighth French top ten album. [11]

Singles

The lead single, "Let's Work It Out", was released in early 2017 to critical acclaim. The song was added to several playlists on British radio station BBC Radio 2 where it enjoyed strong airplay. [12] Despite this airplay, the song failed to make any chart impact on any British singles chart, either physical single sales, digital download or independent chart releases. The second single to be released from Jump on Board, "Tell That Girl", was released just prior to the formal release of the album in March 2017. Again, whilst failing to chart on the United Kingdom or any other mainstream single charts across the European continent, "Tell That Girl" enjoyed strong airplay on BBC Radio 2 throughout both April and May 2017, making playlists including Great British Songbook and Today's Top Hits.
