"Crazy" was performed at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards, with Danger Mouse and Green dressed as various Star Wars characters. In 2010, it was placed at number 100 in the "updated" version of Rolling Stone Template:'s list of " The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and ranked at the top position of Rolling Stone Template:'s top 100 songs of the decade (2000–2009). "Crazy" is also in the number 46 place in the list of the best songs ever of Acclaimed Music. The song was listed at number 11 on Pitchfork Media's top 500 songs of the 2000s. The song was also named the best song of 2004 by Rolling Stone and by The Village Voice Template:'s annual Pazz & Jop critics poll. It was also nominated and further won a 2004 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance in 2005 and was also nominated for Record of the Year, which it lost to " Not Ready to Make Nice" by Dixie Chicks. In December 2004, it was nominated for the United Kingdom's Record of the Year but lost to " Patience" by Take That. Due to continued download sales, it reached one million copies in January 2011.
In spite of this deletion, the song became the best-selling single of 2004 in the UK. The band and their record company then decided to remove the single from music stores in the country so people would "remember the song fondly and not get sick of it". The song remained at the top of the British charts for nine weeks (which no other song had achieved in more than 10 years and was only surpassed by Rihanna's " Umbrella" in July 2007). When it was finally released in July 16, 2004, it became the first single to top the UK Singles Chart on download sales alone.
The song was leaked in late 2003, months before its regular release: it received airplay on BBC Radio 1 in the United Kingdom, most notably by radio DJ Zane Lowe who also used the song in television commercials for his show. It peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and several other countries. " Crazy" is the debut single by American soul duo Gnarls Barkley, taken from their 2004 debut album St. Zomba Music Records, FOX Home Entertaniment Metalworks Studios, Mississauga, ON, Canada and Paisley Park, Chanhassen, Minnesota, US
