2001. On February 18, 2001, "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" debuted at number 27 on New Zealand's RIANZ Singles Chart. The following week, the track rose to number 20, then to number 12 three weeks in. After jumping to number two, the song ascended to number one, giving both Martin and Aguilera their second number-one hit; it was Martin's last song to chart until "Come with Me" in 2013. The song stayed at number one for two non-consecutive weeks, temporarily losing the number-one position to LeAnn Rimes' "Can't Fight the Moonlight" on the week of March 25, 2001, and remained in the top 50 for 17 weeks.

The same month, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) certified the song gold for shipments of over 35,000 copies.
