I Can't Wait was an especially big deal on the radio in the Pacific Northwest. I remember hearing it all the time for much longer than it was a hit nationally. It has held up well over the years.

So both "I Can't Wait" and "Point of no Return" either shared the chart or appeared on the charts within the year of 2 other tunes with the same name, all great. Stevie Nix and Expose, respectively. Pretty cool. Kinda like the big "Jump" situation in, uh, '84?

Or the big "Creep" explosion of 1993-94.

And 'Alright' in the UK in the mid-90s.
