"These Days" peaked at number 44 on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week of October 27, 2020, marking her first charting entry on her national chart since "Never Gonna Let You" in 2013.[10] It was a number one hit on the Billboard Canada Country chart on December 21, 2019, making Porter the first female Canadian country artist to land consecutive number-ones since Shania Twain in 1998.[11] The song is Porter's first charting entry on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts in the United States. With the remix, Porter became the first Canadian country artist to chart on the Canadian pop radio chart since Twain, with the highest pop debut for a Canadian country artist since Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" in 1999.[6] In 2021, "These Days" hit #1 on The Music Network's Country Hot 50 chart in Australia,[12] making her the first Canadian to top that chart since Twain in 2005.[13] The song was certified Platinum by Music Canada on November 3, 2020, with over 80,000 sales, later achieving Double Platinum status in 2023.[14] As of November 2020, the song had received over 14.5 million streams through Spotify.[1]
