It has peaked at #31 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is also his second entry on the Hot Country Songs charts, debuting at #57 on the week of November 7, 2009. Following strong unsolicited airplay of a remix of "Smile" featuring country music influences on Detroit country music stations, "Smile" was re-mixed and released to Country radio as an official single to promote his extended play Happy Hour: The South River Road Sessions. It has since also become his first solo Top 10 country hit, peaking at number six.
