Thanks GaryAlan! Also, good point about the other Carpenters' songs that reached #2: a case could be made for the others as well! It almost seems like a conspiracy...
I know how we often lament how we expected certain Carpenters' songs/albums to do better on the charts than what they did (e.g., "I Need to Be in Love," "All You Get From Love Is a Love Song," Passage). I remember how painstaking it was when "Touch Me When We're Dancing" spent 4 weeks at #16; I kept expecting it to inch higher each successive week. I guess we should appreciate all the successes, and even getting radio airplay and having a #16 hit in 1981 indeed constituted a success!
