[edit] Chart performance
The song unfortunately failed to emulate its predecessor's success peaking at number 19 in the UK chart, and 24 in Australia.
However, "Wishing I Was There" was a summer smash hit in the USA. Despite the most added song on the radio for 2 consecutive weeks in July- August, it only peaked at No. 13 in Billboard Top 40.
