Like I think "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me" is one of their best 90s singles but was it as big as the other ones on that list? Probably not.

I do but only because I had that soundtrack. Wasn't something I heard played on the radio or anything.

Obviously radio exposure is gonna vary by country, though.

It was parodied by Weird Al. That's pretty definitive.

I don’t think that’s it since I heard older U2 songs all the time. It just wasn’t as big in the US.

Hold Me Thrill Me got a lot of airplay in Boston. But Boston was always a very pro-U2 radio market.

It was at the time. I think it got a golden globe or oscar nomination? Im sure a grammy nomination for sure.
And back then, that was huge.

Since U2 were embraced by America back in 86 or whatever, I wonder what has been their overall furthest reaching / consistently played song? Or from each period?


I’d imagine the hits from Joshua tree would own the corner on this, no?
