Sadly, Loving You... did indeed bomb big time in the UK and "Secret Dreams..." didn't fair that well either as a result, despite the late addition of "Holding out for a Hero" when it became a hit about 6 months before the album was released.

Bonnie did an interview at the time and stated she would eat her hat if "Loving You..." wasn't a hit eventually, as it was too good to fail. I'm still waiting to see this!

Interestingly enough (or maybe not - it might be common knowledge!), she also stated that Jim wanted to call the album "Ravishing" but she changed the title to "Secret Dreams...".
