Charts

It is probably Steinman's most successful commercial composition to date and Bonnie Tyler's most successful song, going to No.1 on the Billboard Charts in the United States and Canada and to No.1 in the United Kingdom, and on the Australian record charts. At its peak, it sold 60,000 copies per day, and approximately 5-6 million copies in total, and was number 1 throughout (almost) the entire world charts according to Bonnie Tyler's greatest hits manual. It is therefore widely considered not just a hit, but a smash hit.
