Chart performance

The single was released on the U.S. iTunes Music Store on May 16, 2006. The following week "Show Stopper" debuted at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the highest debuts of 2006 behind Taylor Hicks's "Do I Make You Proud" and Beyoncé's "Ring the Alarm". While the song reached its peak position of number 8 in its second week, radio play and popularity on iTunes declined and it eventually fell out of the top 25. However, about five weeks after the radio release, the song finally started gathering airplay and subsequently moved back up the Hot 100, again peaking at number 12.

While the song failed to chart or sell noticeably in Austria, the song became a top 30 success in Germany with a peak position of number 27.

Music video

The music video for "Show Stopper" was directed by Dominican film maker Jessy Terrero and was filmed in various locations throughout Los Angeles, California between June 27 and 28, 2006.[1] The final version of the video premiered at the end of Making the Video on MTV on August 4, 2006.[2] It reached a peak position of number two on TRL on September 8, 2006 and also finished number 6 on MTV's top videos of 2006 countdown.

Thematically, the video starts with the band members in the recording studio listening to their album cut "Want It" with Diddy as he tells them to go straight to bed and not go out and club hop. Then the girls go into a van and get "made up" and then go out on the town in expensive cars, looking for boys and flirting. The video ends with the girls dancing on the Hollywood Boulevard. Apart from rapper Yung Joc whose part was filmed inside his van while he was on his way back to the airport because of a lack of time, Diddy also recorded a sequence with his verse in the song which appears in the remix version of the music video and features only the girl's full dance portion of the original version.
