Chart performance

"Sometimes" debuted at number seven on Norway's VG-lista chart on the 38th chart week of 2009, which corresponds to mid-September.[2] The following week, it rose up to number one, knocking Donkeyboy's previous single, "Ambitions", from the top spot.[3] It kept the position for three weeks before dropping to number six on chart week 42. However, it rose back to number one after two more weeks, once again dethroning "Ambitions".[4] It remained at number one for three more weeks before losing the top position to Rihanna's song "Russian Roulette" for a single week.[5] Returning to number one for the third time on chart week 48, "Sometimes" stayed atop the listing for two final weeks before slipping to number four. Afterwards, it descended the Norwegian chart, dropping out of the top 20 on the ninth week of 2010 before immediately re-entering the top 20 for two additional weeks. It received a triple platinum certification from IFPI Norway in 2010 for selling over 30,000 copies.
