Background

[edit | edit source]

The album reached number 33 on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). In the United States, it peaked at number 47 on the Billboard 200 and was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The title track was the best-performing single from the album, reaching number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 54 on the UK Singles Chart. In the United Kingdom, the lead single, "Just Another Broken Heart", peaked at number 33, while third single "A Little Tenderness" failed to chart in early 1982. In the US, a track from her first album was included, "When He Shines", which was released as a single and peaked at number 30.

You Could Have Been With Me became a top-10 album in Japan, following the use of the track "A Little Tenderness" in a television advertising campaign for Noevir Cosmetics. The album also reached number two in Sweden and number seven in Norway.

A CD reissue in 2000 added the track "For Your Eyes Only" (number four in the US and number eight in the UK), one of Easton's most successful singles.

On 23 February 2013, British record label Edsel Records reissued Easton's You Could Have Been with Me and Madness, Money & Music in two-disc packages remastered with bonus tracks.

On 24 November 2014, the album was included in an Original Album Series box set in the UK with all of her first five albums with EMI through Warner Music Group.
