In a 2000 poll by Channel 4, the song was placed at number 38 in the 100 greatest number one singles of all time.[12] Similar polls by the music channel VH1 placed the song at number three in their "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders" of all time,[13] number 18 in their "100 Greatest Songs of the '80s"[7] and number one in their "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the '80s".[14] (While the group had a previous number one single in the UK with "Geno" in 1980 as well as several other Top 40 singles, "Come On Eileen" was their only US hit.) As of June 2013, "Come On Eileen" had sold 1.33 million copies in the UK.[15]

The song reached number one in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the week ending 23 April 1983. "Come On Eileen" prevented Michael Jackson from having back-to-back number-one hits in the US: "Billie Jean" was the number-one single the previous seven weeks, while "Beat It" was the number-one song the ensuing three.
