When released as a single in 2002, the song reached the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 16 in September of that year.[1] It was more successful on the BillboardHot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, where it entered the chart in April 2002 and eventually spent two weeks at the top of the chart in August.[2] It remained on this chart for 36 weeks. In November 2008, the song spent a week on the UK Singles Chart at No. 94.[3]
Appearances in mediaedit
In 2001, Groban guest-starred on two episodes of the Fox television drama Ally McBeal. His latter appearance on the show was in the episode "Nine-One-One", where his character's mother had been killed and his father, a minister, had begun doubting the existence of God. Near the conclusion of the episode, Groban performed "To Where You Are" at a church service.[4] Groban had been asked to return to the show after Fox received numerous letters and inquiries about the singer following his appearance in an earlier episode, "The Wedding", during which he had performed the song "You're Still You".[5]
Groban has included "To Where You Are" in many of his concert sets in the years since the song was released, including at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway in late 2002.[6] The song appears on his first two live albums, Josh Groban in Concert and Live at the Greek, as well as on his 2008 greatest hits release, A Collection.
