In Nederland werd de single wél regelmatig gedraaid op Radio 538, Qmusic, NPO Radio 2 en NPO 3FM, maar bereikte desondanks de Nederlandse Top 40, Mega Top 50 en de B2B Single Top 100 niet.
In België bereikte de single de 23e positie in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50. De Vlaamse Radio 2 Top 30 werd niet bereikt.
"The Less I Know the Better" is a song released by the Australian music project Tame Impala on 29 November 2015 as the fourth and final single from their third studio album, Currents. The song's accompanying music video mixes hand-drawn animation with live action and takes place in a high school, especially the gym and locker room, where a male basketball player suffers a broken heart.
In 2016, the song peaked at number 23 on the Belgian Flanders singles chart, number 66 on the ARIA Singles Chart, and number 195 on the French Singles Chart. In the US, the song charted at number 35 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart.
The song, along with "Let It Happen", was one of two singles from Currents to reach the top five in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2015, ranking at number 4, whilst "Let It Happen" ranked at number 5.
It also topped Triple J's Hottest 100 of the 2010s in March 2020. The week after reaching #1 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of the 2010s, the song entered the ARIA Top 50 for the first time, charting 49 places higher than its previous peak of #66.
In May 2021, APRA AMCOS confirmed the song surpassed one billion streams.
