[5] It was also the Canadian country album with the largest first-week sales figure, according to Nielsen SoundScan and as reported by Top Country. [6]
Side Effects sold 600 copies in the US in its debut week. [7] The album failed to enter any American Billboard album charts, but did reach number 10 on the West North Central region-specific component chart of the Heatseekers Albums tally. [8]
Smith set a number of records with the singles released from Side Effects, becoming the first Canadian male artist to earn four number one country singles, the first Canadian male artist to generate three number one country singles from one album ("Autograph", "Side Effects", and "Sky Stays This Blue"), [upper-alpha 1] and the first Canadian country artist to post three consecutive number one country singles. [9] The album's sixth single, "Sleepin' Around", also reached number one, making Side Effects the first album to produce four chart-topping singles and tying Smith with Shania Twain as the artists with the most career number ones.
