"No Promises" is a pop song recorded by Danish singer Bryan Rice for his debut studio album, Confessional (2006). It was recorded by Rice for the soundtrack of the Danish comedy film Nynne (2005). The song was a big hit in Denmark in 2005/2006 peaking at number one on the Danish Airplay Chart. "No Promises" was the fourth most performed work by Danish songwriters in Denmark between 2000-2009 according to Danish performance-rights organisation KODA.^[1] The song had international success in a Shayne Ward cover, peaking at number two in the UK in 2006.

Chart performance

The song spent three non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Danish Airplay Chart. The song did not chart on the Singles Chart, because the chart did not allow singles only available as digital download to chart until 2007. In January 2007, "No Promises" was certified platinum by IFPI Denmark for sales of 15,000 digital downloads.^[2]

The song was similarly heavily airplayed on Lebanese radios in spite of a non official physical release making it practically the biggest hit for the singer in this country. It has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK. The video features Allie Crandell who appeared alongside Whitney Port in her MTV spin-off The City.
