It stayed at the top for eight non-consecutive weeks, alternating with Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia". The single managed to remain in the top ten for 22 weeks. Certified Gold disc by the SNEP, it featured at #2 on the End of the Year Chart, behind "7 Seconds", by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry.

Famous quotes containing the words chart and/or performances:
“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
