From Top Rank's site:

"Sometimes When We Touch," the hot new single by boxing's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter and box office attraction Congressman Manny Pacquiao (@MannyPacquiao) and composer/artist Dan Hill (@officialdanhill) has broken into the Top-30 with a bullet. It is No. 29 on the secondary Adult Contemporary chart and is the third-highest most added single to radio station playlists for the third consecutive week. The perfect Father's Day gift, "Sometimes When We Touch" is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Now none of this is particularly amazing, except that it's a terrible song that was made for its original time period (34 years ago) and shouldn't be doing anything on any charts anywhere, especially when you consider Pacquiao can't sing, so I guess its moderate success does speak to the incredible power of the Pacquiao brand.

Also, I can think of a lot of things that might be "the perfect Father's Day gift," but "Sometimes When We Touch" is not one of them.
