U2 has enjoyed a long and storied career, but their success on the U.S. Billboard charts, particularly with No. 1 hits, reflects both their adaptability and enduring appeal.
The band achieved their first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “With or Without You” in 1987, a powerful ballad from their seminal album The Joshua Tree. This song, characterized by its emotional depth and innovative sound, marked U2's mainstream breakthrough in the U.S., solidifying their status as global rock icons.
Following closely was "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," another track from The Joshua Tree, which also hit the top spot. Its gospel-infused sound and lyrics exploring spiritual yearning further demonstrated the band’s ability to blend deeply personal themes with universal appeal.
