"Sunday, Bloody Sunday" wasn't realeased as a single???

[Andy]

That only covers top 40 singles...
2nd single gloria only reached #55 and 3rd single a celebration peaked at 47, alos In God's country peaked at 47 on import and When love comes to town with BB King is missing which reached #6.
Vertigo for #1 anyone?

Only in Europe, and possibly Japan. It was promo only elsewhere. A lot like 'Stairway To Heaven' actually.

Actually, I think Miguel was questioning if it wasn't a single, wondering why it wasn't listed. I believe "I Will Follow" was actually a single as well, but that wasn't successful upon release, to my knowledge.

And, of course, there was previous singles released only in Ireland.

Right, but SBS wasn't released as a single in the UK, therefore it didn't chart. The only places it was issued were Germany and Japan.

U2's non-charting UK singles were 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, A Day Without Me, and I Will Follow.

Oh, and one more that should be included...Miss Sarajevo by "Passengers" hit #6 in 1995. This song was included on the recent U2 best of compilation, so I guess the band wants to consider that a U2 track.
