I think it did well because, obviously it's a great single, but also it helped coming off the back of the success of Tango In The Night (That album was huge in the UK.) Stevie got a lot of press here at the time too, with interviews in Melody Maker, Raw, Record Mirror, The Mirror newspaper, to name but a few. All of that helped as well I think.
I saw Stevie at Wembley Arena in 1989 like Neil. It was my first ever concert. Pip from this board was there too. Those dates are the only times she has ever played solo in this country or Ireland.

Actually, Stevie appeared on TOTP when it was at 21...check it out (Damn BBC made the mime):
But Talk To Me and I Can't Wait both made the top 30 I think and no sign of Stevie ANYWHERE on TOTP. Tango was before I was born so I have no idea about it's level of Huge-Ness. What a bummer about OSOTM tour being the only tour to hit the UK..imagine if Wild Heart or Bella Donna hit the UK back in the day that wud have been amazing!
