Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I tukuna te kotahi o "Secret Love" i te 9 o Oketopa 1953 - e toru wiki i mua o te whakaaturanga tuatahi o te kiriata "Calamity Jane" na tana tapanga rekoata roa, Columbia Records i roto i nga whakatakotoranga 45 me 78 rpm (cat. no.40108). Ko te kotahi tomo te Top 20 bestselling kotahi rangahau i runga i te tau 17 i runga i te "Billboard" maheni rā 9 Hānuere 1954 ki te kotahi tae tau 1 i runga i te Top 20 rangahau mo te wiki mutu 17 Hui-tanguru 1954, te wiki i roto i nei i whakaingoatia Academy Award o te waiata mo Best Song i kauwhautia, nga whakaingoatanga mo te 26 Academy Awards
mō te tau kiriata 1953 i panuitia e rua rā i mua. Ko te "Secret Love" a Day, i te mea e toru nga wiki i tohua ko te nama 1 tino pai rawa atu na "Billboard", i tohua ano ko te nama 4 tino pai i te wiki o te 26th Academy Awards i tukuna i te 25 o Poutu-te-rangi 1954. Heoi, i whakakahore a Day ki te whakatangi i te tohu (me te wikitoria i te mutunga) "Secret Love" i te huihuinga Academy Awards, i muri mai ka kii: "I te wa i tono mai ratou ki ahau kia waiata 'Secret Love' i te po Academy Awards i kii atu ahau ki a raatau kaore au e ahei ki te mahi i mua o aua taangata". Engari, i whakatangihia e Ann Blyth te waiata i te huihuinga. Ko te kore o te ra ki te mahi "Secret Love" i runga i te whakaaturanga Academy Awards i hua ai te Hollywood Women's Press Club "te whakahonore" i te ra me te Tohu Apple Tohu hei tangata rongonui kore mahi tahi o te 1953: na tenei whakaiti i puta ai te pouri i mau ai a Day ki te whare mo etahi wiki, a ko te ra i te mutunga ka tika kia eke ki tana tirohanga Pūtaiao Karaitiana ki te mahi, me te korero ki tetahi tohunga hauora.
