Weekly charts
"The Way He Makes Me Feel" was released as a single in a slightly different and more contemporary version than the one on the soundtrack to the film. It reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent two weeks at number one on the adult contemporary chart.[2] This was Streisand's eighth (and, to date, final) number-one song on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.
