One Hit Wonder in 1983???
While I agree their early 80’s stuff was their best stuff, their US hits were much later:
“Enjoy the Silence,” No. 8, July 14, 1990
“People Are People,” No. 13, Aug. 3, 1985
“Policy of Truth,” No. 15, Oct. 20, 1990
“Personal Jesus,” No. 28, March 3, 1990
“It’s No Good,” No. 38, June 7, 1997
“Strangelove,” No. 50, Oct. 22, 1988
“World In My Eyes,” No. 52, Dec. 22, 1990
“I Feel You,” No. 37, March 13, 1993
“Route 66/Behind the Wheel,” No. 61, May 21, 1988
“Never Let Me Down Again,” No. 63, Feb. 13, 1988
Kind of like The Cure, a lot of their best stuff came before they started having hits.
