The track also proved popular stateside reaching No. 29 on the Billboard Singles chart and making it into Billboard's year-end Hot 100 list for 1983 at No. 88. Days of Innocence also spawned the hit Sweet Cherie and the band soon followed up this success with the album Matinee. The sophomore album also proved popular reaching an impressive 16 on the ARIA Album chart and featuring the hits Winners and Back to the Streets. 1984 saw Moving Pictures popularity soar even higher with the track Never featuring in the cult movie “Footloose”, and subsequently on the soundtrack, as the backdrop to an epic Kevin Bacon dance solo.
