Promotion and chart performance

"DJ" was released on 1 November 2004, one of the busiest release weeks of the year competing with Eminem, Destiny's Child, Usher & Alicia Keys, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliott. However, the single still managed to get a UK top ten place, despite the stiff competition and became her fourth consecutive top ten hit, spending twelve weeks inside the UK Singles Chart, one week longer than "See It in a Boy's Eyes", despite having a lower peak. The single also became her fourth consecutive top forty hit in Australia, peaking at number thirty-seven there.

The formats of "DJ" received a staggered release. On 1 November 2004 the 2-track CD: 1 was released along with the "DJ" CD release. The release was also the first DVD single release from Jamelia and it is rumoured that the DVD single was released because the "DJ" video was not finished in time to be added to the "Thank You - Live" DVD release. The single release also contained a cover of Wham's "Last Christmas".
