Chart performance edit

Like its predecessor, "Old Pop in an Oak" was very successful on the charts in Europe, remaining one of the group's biggest hits to date. It peaked at number-one in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Additionally, the single entered the top 10 also in Belgium (2), Germany (2), Iceland (6), the Netherlands (6), Scotland (8) and Switzerland (2), as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached number two. In the United Kingdom, "Old Pop in an Oak" soared to number 12 in its first week at the UK Singles Chart, on March 19, 1995.[1] In France, it was a top 50 hit. Outside Europe, the single peaked at number seven in New Zealand, number 17 on the RPM Dance/Urban chart and number 53 on the RPM Top Singles chart in Canada, and number 70 in Australia. It earned a gold record in Switzerland and a platinum record in Austria, Germany and Norway.

Critical reception edit

British newspaper Lennox Herald noted that "Old Pop in an Oak" is a "similar sounding song" to their previous single, "Cotton Eye Joe".[2] A reviewer from Manila Standard described it as "techno-pop fun".[3] Pan-European magazine Music & Media viewed it as a "C&W/dance mixture".[4] Music Week constated that "Rednex regurgitate Cotton Eye Joe – give or take the odd twang – and set out to prove that successfully following up a novelty number one isn't impossible."[5] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update declared it as a "speak of the devil, another thumbs in braces, boot stompin', high steppin' moonshine swiggin' gingham swirling Swedish disco hoedown much too much like their last one".[6] Also Chuck Campbell from Scripps Howard News Service deemed the song as a "very similar re-take" on the band's first hit.[7]
