Had Touch been a release in that year it was almost certainly at least Top 20.

Strangely, I suppose given its American success, they did pull out the stops for Missing You including re-promoting it several times to no avail.

If they had given it the same attention when it was released Touch would certainly have been a sizeable hit and perhaps the Swept Away album would have benefited
“Touch” did receive a fair amount of radio play at the time, but the public just weren’t interested. Personally i have always hated the song, finding it rather twee and lightweight.
They probably should have taken a chance with “Swept Away” but were probably put off by “Mirror Mirror” charting so poorly.
