"Pump It Up!" achieved success throughout Europe; it reached the top 10 in more than 10 countries and peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, the song reached number 29 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart.

In 2007, Pancheros Mexican Grill used the song for their in-game segment, 'The Burrito Lift' during the University of Iowa football and basketball games. The song is beloved by Hawkeye fans and 'The Burrito Lift' is one of Iowa's favorite gameday traditions. ^[1]
