The song reached top-five positions in many European music charts. It also topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart following its American release in May 1998. In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart whilst Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" was at number one. This was the largest difference in sales between a number-one and number-two song on the chart.[citation needed]
Scotsman Stuart "Scooby" Cochrane argued that "Sunchyme" plagiarised a song he had composed. "I was offered £60,000 from Warner Bros to settle a legal case over Dario G's worldwide smash Sunchyme," he said. "[It] sounded suspiciously like a record I’d recorded in Glasgow two years previously. I knocked it back. What price integrity?"[3]
