Despite entering the UK Singles Chart at number five, "No Tomorrow" climbed to the top spot two weeks later, which earned the band the record for the lowest-ever weekly sales of a UK number-one single, selling only 17,694 copies.[1] It held this record for over a decade until "One Dance" by Drake sold even fewer copies during its ninth week at number one in June 2016.

The single went on to be the UK's twelfth best-selling single of 2006,[2] having spent seven weeks in the UK Top 5 and 18 weeks in the Top 75. The single, however, had previously been released as a free download on the iTunes music store, where it became the most downloaded single of the week to date. In France, it was used as the soundtrack of the TV series Les Bleus.

Music video

The first two music videos which helped to put Orson onto the map were both directed by Tony Petrossian. The video for "No Tomorrow" uses a spotlight device to show only bits and snippets of the singer's night out with a girl. It features the attention focused on a circular light that moves around the screen and allows you to see through; the rest of the picture is darker than what's shown in the light and sometimes goes all black. The video for "Bright Idea" features a device that originated with Picasso when he took his still image labeled "Menotaur." In the Tony Petrossian-helmed music video, the streaking light effect comes to life and real time.
