Chart Performance
"Where You Are" was relatively unsuccessful, especially in comparison with the success of its predecessor, "I Wanna Love You Forever". The track failed to reach even the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at sixty-two. The song did, however, become a relative Adult Contemporary hit.
On the dance charts, the song was not received by dance fans on the dance floor, and failed to chart on Hot Dance Music/Club Play. Strangely enough though, dance fans reacted strongly to the physical single of the song and the song became a hit on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales reaching number four. Critics of Billboard Magazine have explained this seeming contradiction by pointing out that the physical single had a previously unreleased remix of "I Wanna Love You Forever" included on it, so that may have helped sales.
Internationally, the song was not released in major music markets excluding Canada.

Famous quotes containing the words chart and/or performance:
“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)
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
