"Painkiller" debuted and peaked at #7 the week of November 30, 2008. Though it became the first single of the Morbid Lullabies era to miss the top 5, it had the benefit of higher sales due to being released close to Christmas; its first week sales of 48,554 at #7 are higher than the first week sales her previous single "Running With Scissors" had at #4. With a total of 211,157 copies sold, "Painkiller", despite missing the top 5, went on to outsell five of her top 5 hits - "Running With Scissors", "Teen Queens & iPod Dreams", "No One/Mood Swing", "Fake Smiles From Hollywood" and "Smiles Are Out Of Style".

On the airplay charts, "Painkiller" entered at #27 on the week of November 2, 2008 and peaked at #4.
