On this day in 1983, U2 released their iconic single New Year’s Day. The song was the lead single from their third studio album, War, and became one of their most enduring tracks.
Blending themes of love and political unrest, New Year’s Day marked a turning point for U2, gaining significant attention in the UK and the U.S. The song peaked at #10 on the UK Singles Chart and became their first Top 40 hit in the U.S., reaching #53 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Fun Fact: The music video, shot in Sweden, features the band performing in a snowy landscape, adding to its haunting, anthemic feel.
