It took another 5 weeks for the single to reach the top of the German single chart,[2] it spent six weeks at the number one position in Germany and total of 25 weeks within the German Single Chart eventually reaching a gold status for selling well over 250,000 units at home.[3][4] "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" is considered their best selling single to date with worldwide sales said to exceed 8 million copies.[5]

The single was also certified gold in France and sold about 715,000 units in this country.[6] The music video of the single was shot in 1984 at the RTL studios in Luxembourg.

The single was re-released in 1998, "You're My Heart, You're My Soul '98" for the duo's reunion. The single in a newer package gained a similar success again earning them a platinum-award for selling over 500,000 units in Germany alone.[4]
