U2’s Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits, From the 1980s Through This Century
A look at the legendary rock band's history on the chart.
From the 1980s through this century, Irish rock band U2 has achieved enduring hits on the Billboard Hot 100, earning a total of 34 entries with six top 10 hits. U2 first entered the chart on April 2, 1983, with "New Year's Day" peaking at No. 53. Their first top 40 hit came in 1984 with the Martin Luther King Jr. tribute "Pride (In the Name of Love)," which peaked at No. 33.
In 1987, U2 reached the top of the chart with "With or Without You," a song that spent three weeks at No. 1. They followed this up with another top hit in August of the same year with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," which held the No. 1 spot for two weeks. Throughout the decades, U2 has been one of the select acts to score top 40 hits on the chart in the '80s, '90s, '00s, and '10s, most notably their featured turn on Kendrick Lamar's "XXX.Yeah," which reached No. 33 in May 2017.
Frontman Bono has charted three Hot 100 titles solo, while the rest of the band's collaboration "Theme From Mission: Impossible" peaked at No. 7 in 1996.
