from a friend of mine who is also a friend of Katrina's:

"Walking on Sunshine" entered the US singles chart in March 1985. (The
flip side? "Going Down to Liverpool," already covered by the Bangles.) It
stayed on the chart for 21 weeks, peaking not at #2 or #6, but at #9. (The
two other singles from the record tanked. "Do You Want Crying" made it to
#37, but "Que Te Quiero" stalled at #71.) They had only one more Top 40
single, the lousy "That's the Way," which hit #16 in 1989. As it turns
out, I have many of Joel Whitburn's Billboard books, but I know those
numbers by heart."
