One of the biggest bands to see success in the ’80s is U2. They launched into superstardom in the late ’80s for their album “The Joshua Tree,” which went platinum in 48 hours, topped the charts in 20 different countries, and spent nine weeks at the top of the U.S. charts. The album was a pretty big deal, but all that work didn’t come out of nowhere.
The band had released four albums before “The Joshua Tree,” steadily laying the groundwork for the success that would come later. One of these albums is “The Unforgettable Fire,” which spawned some of their earlier hits, including “Bad.”
The song charted at number 19 on the rock charts and served as one of the band’s earlier hits. Recently, U2 announced a new music video for the song on their TikTok.
Fans were ecstatic to see the news, leaving their reactions in the comment section to the big news.
“Their best song.”
“My favorite band… This song is one of my favorite from U2.🥰”
“My favorite U2 song and album.”
“Might be my top song of all time.”
Earlier today, they also dropped another lyric video on YouTube for “40.”
Whether is one of their mega hits or just a fan favorite, U2 clearly means a lot to people after all of these years.
