Released to universal acclaim on March 9 ,1987 and featuring hit singles "With Or Without You","I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Where The Streets Have No Name", was U2's first #1 album in the U.S., topping the charts globally including the U.K. and Ireland , selling in excess of 25 million albums worldwide, and catapulting Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr "… from heroes to superstars" (Rolling Stone). Time Magazine put U2 on its cover in April 1987 , proclaiming them "Rock's Hottest Ticket" in a defining year for the band that saw their arena dates roll into stadium shows to accommodate escalating demand - setting them on course to become one of the greatest live acts in the world today.

U2's fifth studio album was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois , and featured iconic artwork which cemented the career of photographer and director Anton Corbijn. Recording took place in Dublin at Windmill Lane Studios and Danesmoate, the house which subsequently became bassist Adam Clayton's home.
