It peaked at #72 on the Billboard top 100 and even peaked at 14 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. To me, it's really the last song from the Carpenters that has the Carpenters sound all over it.
I can understand why Touch Me When We're Dancing was really the only hit off Made in America, but to me, Touch Me just doesn't have that magical sound of a Carpenters song. Maybe that's why it charted higher?
So why do we think Back In My Life Again wasn't a bigger hit? It's super catchy, and has the radio friendly formula of an earlier Carpenters hit. Was it too corny? That's really the only thing I can think of unless the US radio listeners were just burned out with the C's and moving on to different sounds.
