“Shattered Dreams” entered the UK Singles
Chart in March 1987 at #92 but gained popularity through extensive
radio play and video rotation on MTV and the song quickly climbed the
charts and peaked at #5 in May 1987, spending three weeks at that
position and a total of 16 weeks in the chart. It went on to become a
top 20 hit throughout Europe, and even reached the top 10 in some
countries.
The song fared even better the following
year in the U.S. There, “Shattered Dreams” was released early in 1988
with a totally different music video, shot entirely in black and white
and directed by David Fincher, which Datchler actually preferred. The
single peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped
Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for one week. A midtempo club remix
of the track was released on 12″ vinyl.
Billboard magazine ranked “Shattered Dreams” as the #26 song of the year 1988 in their December 31 issue.
