[2] It went on to stay at no. 1 for 13 consecutive weeks and was in the top 10 for a total of 29 consecutive weeks. [2] Movin' ultimately spent 65 weeks in the Top 100 of the German Album Chart.

Movin' was successful throughout Europe. In Switzerland,the album debuted at no. 2 in October 1985 and reach the top spot two months later. [4] It stayed at no. 1 for 2 weeks and spent 19 weeks in the top 10. [4] In Norway,Movin' became Jennifer's second no. 1 album and spent 2 weeks at the top position of the chart.

[9] It was also a commercial flop in Australia,where it peaked at no. 96,despite her debut album reaching top 10 there.
