It bested the number two chart peak of "I'm Too Sexy", in the United Kingdom, by peaking atop of the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in April 1992, knocking off Shakespears Sister's two month chart topping single, "Stay", despite selling fewer copies than "I'm Too Sexy" or their followup, "Don't Talk Just Kiss".
Outside the United Kingdom, "Deeply Dippy" reached number one in Ireland, for four weeks, and entered the Top 20 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand. The song failed to chart in the United States, where "I'm Too Sexy" had reached number one, other than on the chart Billboard Hot Dance Club Play, peaking at number nine.
It did, however, manage to reach the Top 100 in Canada, climbing to position #82 in August 1992.
