In Spain, it peaked at No. 1 on the Spanish singles chart (AFYVE).Though the single did not chart in the US Hot 100, it did reach No. 18 on Billboard's Club Play Singles chart."Johnny and Mary" was used as the signature tune in advertisements promoting Renault cars throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Early adverts used Palmer's original version, while a range of special recordings in different styles were produced during the 1990s, most famously an acoustic interpretation by Martin Taylor, which he released on his album Spirit of Django. Taylor recorded alternate versions for Renault; the last being in 1998 for the launch of the all-new Renault Clio. In 2021, Swedish singer Hanna Hägglund recorded a new version of the song, used again by Renault in TV ads to launch its latest version of model Clio.
