Just No Other Way was a relative success in Asia, having three top ten singles (including one number one single) in the MTV Asia Hitlist. As soon as "Before I Fall in Love" topped the charts as her breakthrough single, Lee became the first female Asian singer to top both the Asia Hitlist and Top 100 Asia Singles Airplay. Her next single, "Do You Want My Love", peaked at number two for six weeks, while her last single, "Wherever You Go", managed to peak at number three. This is another record for Lee, becoming the only Asian artist to have three singles enter the top three in the Asia Hitlist.
