The song, a ballad done in the band's signature mellow style, was released in December 1986, as the second and final single from the album ''[[The Touch (album)|The Touch]]''. "You've Got" the Touch was a number-one hit on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot Country Songs|Hot Country Singles]] chart in April 1987.<ref>{{cite book |title= The Billboard Book Of Top 40 Country Hits: 1944-2006, Second edition|last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=19}}</ref> The song was Alabama's 21st — and as it turned out, final consecutive — chart-topper in a string that dated from August 1980's "[[Tennessee River (song)|Tennessee River]]". The follow-up single, the semi-autobiographical "Tar Top," peaked at number seven that November, breaking the streak. A new streak would be started in early 1988 with the song "Face to Face". This song is unrelated to [[Stan Bush]]'s song of a similar title from the [[Transformers]] movie. ==Charts== {|class="wikitable sortable" !align="left"|Chart (1986-1987) !align="center"|Peak<br />position |- {{singlechart|Billboardcountrysongs|1|artist=Alabama}} |- |align="left"|Canadian ''RPM'' Country Tracks |align="center"|1 |} ==References== {{reflist}} '''Works cited''' *Millard, Bob, "Country Music: 70 Years of America's Favorite Music," HarperCollins, New York, 1993 ({{ISBN|0-06-273244-7}}) *Roland, Tom, "The Billboard Book of Number One Country Hits," Billboard Books, Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1991 ({{ISBN|0-8230-7553-2}}) {{Alabama (band) 1977-1989 singles}} {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:You've Got The Touch}} [[Category:1987 singles]] [[Category:1986 songs]] [[Category:Alabama (American band) songs]] [[Category:Song recordings produced by Harold Shedd]] [[Category:RCA Records singles]] [[Category:Songs written by John Jarrard]] [[Category:Songs written by Will Robinson (songwriter)]] {{1986-country-song-stub}}'
