    The following chart placings are taken from the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) Chart. Only Tori's charting singles are listed.

    Spent 31 weeks in Top 50, and 42 weeks (!) in Top 100.

    *NB- This single originally charted as "Hey Jupiter/Professional Widow" [Released 14th Oct 96], but later continued charting as "Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big)" [released 24th Feb 97] as "Professional Widow" was actually the main track being played from the double A-side single. ARIA listed "Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big)" separately for one week [9th March 1997, where it entered the ARIA Top 100 at #96], but the next week listed both as charting as the same single, hence the "and/or".

    "Hey Jupiter/Professional Widow" and/or "Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big)" was placed at #65 on ARIA's Top 100 highest- selling singles of 1997. It was placed at #23 on the 1997 end-of -year dance chart.
