Chart performance

"Shiver" reached No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart. Shiver was officially Britain's most broadcast track in 2005, indicating most played on radio, MTV and commercial use. [1] [2] In Europe, "Shiver" was the sixth-most-played song of 2005, accumulating 2,733,820 audience points and 31,423 plays during the year. Shiver became Natalie Imbruglia's biggest pan-European airplay track since "Torn" and as a result is considered her second-biggest hit. [3] The song was covered by Maxïmo Park on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. Lara Krost performed the song during Season 5 of Australian Idol. In 2006, Shiver was nominated in the APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) category for 'Most Performed Foreign Work'. [4] It was also nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for 'Most Performed Track'. [5] As of 2011, "Shiver" had sold approximately 500,000 copies worldwide. [6]

Music video

The music video, inspired by the movie The Bourne Supremacy , started airing around February 2005. It was directed by Jake Nava who has also directed the music video for Britney Spears' hit, My Prerogative , and Holly Valance's State of Mind . It was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, during winter, giving the video a bleak appearance, but also "intriguing visuals for a seemingly ordinary pop song". [7] [8]

A departure from Imbruglia's previous video styles, Shiver had a spy-themed, action-packed plot with car chases and switched identities. Imbruglia burns her passport and personal effects, then steals a Citroën CX to make her escape. She is followed by her unnamed enemy, in this case men driving a GAZ Volga 3110 and a BMW 5 Series (E34). [9] [7] Imbruglia is unusually calm despite these circumstances, implying that this is a typical occurrence. [10] Imbruglia manages to escape both sets of her pursuers, alters her appearance, and obtains new fake passport, in order to take a train to another city, but she remains a fugitive on the run. [8] [11]
