"Waiting for a Girl Like You" achieved an odd chart distinction by spending a record-setting 10 weeks in the #2 position of the '' Billboard '' Hot 100 chart, without ever reaching the top. This was in no small part due to Olivia Newton-John 's single " Physical ", which was a #1 hit for ten weeks. At the time, Newton-John's run was one week short of the all-time record. (In 2002, Missy Elliott matched Foreigner's runner-up accomplishment when her " Work It " single also spent ten weeks at #2 without reaching #1. Whitney Houston 's " Exhale (Shoop Shoop) " spent eleven weeks at #2, but also spent one week at #1.) This song features in the 2002 as part of the Power Ballads radio station Emotion 98.3 . Rick Springfield recorded a cover version of this song on his most recent album, ''The Day After Yesterday''. |
