the previous petula clark single "you'd better come home" had evinced a sharp decline in the chart fortunes established by her breakout hit "downtown". "round every corner" would virtually duplicate the precedent single's chart placings in both the us, where "you'd better come home" and "round every corner" respectively peaked at #22 and #21, and in the uk. the uk fall-off was more severe - the respective peaks being #44 and #43 - suggesting a brief presence for clark at the forefront of the 1960s britpop scene, particularly as the follow-up to "downtown": "i know a place", had - despite reaching #3 us - only been a moderate uk hit (#17).
