Cher Scores 31st Billboard Adult Contemporary Hit With 'I Hope You Find It'

Cher's 'I Hope You Find It' has entered Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart at #24.

'Closer To The Truth' ballad 'I Hope You Find It' has become the second single from the album to hit Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart - which consists of the most popular songs on US adult contemporary radio stations. It follows - and betters - first single 'Woman's World', which peaked at #28 on the chart last year.
