However, by November the CD single was deleted and, due to chart rules at that time, the song was removed from the chart two weeks later, after 17 weeks in total. Released as a download-only single in July 2006, and followed by a CD version a few weeks later, it originally peaked at number six. The song has one of the most fascinating chart runs in UK history. It was also performed as the last live performance on Top of the Pops. It was later heard again in the 18th episode of the show's seventh season in 2011. The song was also made into a music video for the medical show, as a promotion for its third season. 'Chasing Cars' became a big hit in the States, after its use in the TV drama One Tree Hill's third-season finale episode, 'The Show Must Go On'.Ī few weeks later, the song appeared on the second-season finale of Grey's Anatomy.
