How many u2 Chart "hits" would feature in you all time top u2 Songs List?

Just wondering if anyone else is like me, where there top fave u2 songs would mostly be made on Album tracks instead of the singles that charted?

Based on that, i think the only ones that might feature in my top 20 would be

A Celebration
The Unforgetable Fire
11 O Clock Tick Tock
Please
Staring At The Sun

My current U2 best of playlist has 59 songs, including 22 singles from Out of Control to Vertigo.

Pride for me obviously. Not sure about my top 20 but other big songs I really enjoy include Gloria, New Year's Day, The Unforgettable Fire, Streets, Bullet, The Fly, and Stay.

My top 20 U2 songs of all time:

01. Where The Streets Have No Name - U.S. #13
02. New Years Day - U.S. #53
03. Pride(In The Name Of Love) - U.S. #33
04. With Or Without You - U.S. #1
05. The Unforgettable Fire - did not chart in U.S., but #1 in Ireland
06. Heartland
07. Miracle Drug
08. A Sort Of Homecoming
09. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - U.S. #35
10. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U.S. #97
11. Ultraviolet(Light My Way)
12. Acrobat
13. Mercy
14. Winter
15. Kite
16. Walk On - #1 in Canada
17. One - U.S. #10
18. Tomorrow
19. Like A Song
20. Drowning Man

So nearly half of my top 20 are charted singles in one country or another.

My number one choice would be Miss Sarajevo

Easy to make a strong playlist of 20 U2 singles. In the 80's alone there were 9 UK singles I like. Be hard to round it down to 20.

To pick an all time top 20 would be even harder. But will have a go.

An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart
Another Time, Another Place
Gloria
New Years Day
Like a Song
A Sort of Homecoming.
Bad
The Unforgettable Fire
Streets
Bullet
Red Hill Mining Town
All I want it you.
Stay
HMKMKMKM
The Ground Beneath her feet
Electrical Storm.
Sometimes...
Crumbs
Moment of Surrender
Every Breaking Wave

A lot were singles. RHMT & TGBHF were nearly singles. Videos being made for them.

Did not include Passengers tracks.

Only Streets & NYD have made it onto all three lists.

TUF, Pride, ASOH, Sometimes, Ultraviolet, Bullet, Like a Song, Bad & Gloria making it onto two.

Suspect these songs would be on lots of people's top 20's.

Thirteen of my 20 are from the 80's. It's also the dominant decade in the other lists.

That decade U2 really blew everyone else away musically.

But they released some good stuff in the other three decades.

Very few.

Bad.
Streets.

That's about it.

It's debatable whether BAD even counts as a hit. It was massive in 1985 as a live song and with Live Aid, but I doubt anyone knows it today who isn't a hardcore fan.
