Chart performance

"Blame It" rose rapidly to the top spot on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Foxx's first number one on the chart as a lead artist, and his third including featured credits. "Blame It" broke the record for the longest running #1 song ever on the chart by a male artist. It spent fourteen consecutive weeks at #1 before finally being knocked off by Jeremih's "Birthday Sex." It is tied with "We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey and "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" by Deborah Cox as the second longest running song ever on the chart. Only "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige spent more time at #1, with 15 weeks.

On the Billboard Hot 100, it has thus far reached #2, making it his second top ten, but first top five hit on the chart as a lead artist and his highest peak on the chart (following two No.1s as a featured artist). The song sold one million downloads in 14 weeks in the United States. In Canada, it has peaked at #7 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. After consistently remaining in the Hot 100's Top 20 for more than twenty weeks, "Blame It" took a sudden fall from number 22 to 34 in mid July.
