Track 1 - Jenny Wren                      (3:47)
Track 2 - Jenny Wren (Radio Edit) (2:08)

The single entered the U.K. charts on 27th November 2005 at number 22.
Second week in the chart the single slipped down to number 57. After which it dropped out.

                                          Chart progression:   22 - 57 .... out

I am led to believe that in it's first week of release Jenny Wren sold about four and a half thousand copies.
