Chart performance

[2] [3] 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. [4] 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'. [5] It was also nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for 'Most Performed Track'. [6] As of 2011, "Shiver" had sold approximately 500,000 copies worldwide. [7]

Music video

A music video for "Shiver" was directed by Jake Nava and filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine in late-2004. It was inspired by the movie The Bourne Supremacy . The video began airing around February 2005. [1] [8]

The video begins with Imbruglia in a field burning some items including her passport and personal effects. She then breaks into a house next to the field, takes a set of car keys and steals a Citroën CX. When she drives away, she is followed by men driving a driving a GAZ Volga 3110 and a BMW 5 Series (E34) who appear to be her enemies. [9] [1] Imbruglia is then shown driving incredibly fast down a street. One of the men chasing her crashes into a car. Her other pursuer suddenly blocks her way, she then reverses back down the street, turns the car around and drives away; Imbruglia is unusually calm despite these circumstances, implying that this is a typical occurrence. [10] She drives down a staircase and crashes next to a train station. She abandons the car and runs into the train station. When the pursuers lose sight of her, she goes into a locker room, alters her appearance and obtains a fake passport, in order to take a train to another city. After leaving the train, she arrives home. She enters her flat and locks the door, she then sits down at a table and appears to reflect on the day's events. The video ends with Imbruglia's telephone ringing, but she doesn't answer it. It is concluded that she remains a fugitive on the run. [8] [11]
