Later, after the digital release of the self-titled album, it moved from number 15 to number 13.[6] As of November 2011, it has been digitally downloaded 112,000 times.[7] On the Canadian Hot 100, What You Want debuted at #55.[8]

What You Want peaked at #30 on the Brazilian Billboard Brasil chart on August 12, 2011.[9] On August 22, 2011, the song debuted on the German Singles Chart and peaked at #84. It charted for three weeks and left the chart on October 2, 2012.[10] On September 3, the song debuted at #1 on the UK Rock Chart, removing Evanescence's own single My Immortal from the top spot.[11] What You Want also peaked at #1 in Taiwan,[12] debuted at #85 in South Korea,[13] peaked at #14 on the US Alternative Songs (Billboard) chart,[14] and at #183 on the Venezuelan Record Report chart.[15]
