It topped the charts in 25 countries, including the UK, Sweden, and Germany, and reached number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The song's success helped propel the band to international fame.

The music video for "The Final Countdown" features the band performing the song in concert, interspersed with footage of the band members and various special effects. The energetic performance and the use of pyrotechnics in the video contributed to its popularity on music television channels like MTV.
