This single is the band's biggest hit in their homeland, where it reached number three on the UK Singles Chart , and internationally, entering the top 10 in numerous countries, reaching the number-one spot in five of them: Spain, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland, and Finland. "Lessons in Love" is also one of the few singles from the band that broke into the Billboard Hot 100 , where it reached number 12 in 1987.
