Charting
"All Time High" reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1983. Adult contemporary radio was much more receptive, with that genre allowing "All Time High" four weeks at No. 1 as ranked by Billboard magazine. Coolidge had previously topped the Adult Contemporary chart in 1977 with "We're All Alone".
In the UK, "All Time High" became the lowest-charting James Bond theme with a No. 75 peak.1 It did, however, become a major hit in several European countries: Austria - No. 14; Germany - No. 13; The Netherlands - No. 8; Sweden - No. 8; and Switzerland - No. 7. Of those European countries Coolidge had only previously charted in the Netherlands (with "We're All Alone" - #15/1977), which was also the only one of those countries where she'd chart again ("I Stand in Wonder", #56/1999). "All Time High" charted in other parts of the world, too: Canada - No. 38, New Zealand - No. 26, Australia - No. 80, and South Africa - No. 8. It was Coolidge's final South African chart hit.
- 1"The Man With the Golden Gun" by Lulu failed to chart in 1974 - at that time the chart was limited to the Top 50 - and "Moonraker" by Shirley Bassey fell short of the Top 75 in 1979.

Famous quotes containing the word charting:
“I love my mother for all the times she said absolutely nothing. . . . Thinking back on it all, it must have been the most difficult part of mothering she ever had to do: knowing the outcome, yet feeling she had no right to keep me from charting my own path. I thank her for all her virtues, but mostly for never once having said, “I told you so.””
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
