U2 has returned to the top of Billboard‘s Dance Club Songs chart for the first time in 17 years, with “Love Is Bigger than Anything in Its Way,” a track from the Irish rockers’ 2017 studio effort, Songs of Experience.
The tune, which ascended to #1 after holding the #2 spot last week, has been remixed by a variety of artists, including Beck, Cheat Codes, Will Clarke, and The Funk Hunters.
“One of my favorite things is to hear how our songs get reinterpreted by our club remix collaborators,” U2 guitarist The Edge tells Billboard. “It’s an even bigger thrill to find out that so many people like the ‘Love Is Bigger’ remixes…To be at #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart is huge.”
U2 last topped the Dance Club Songs tally in February 2001 with “Beautiful Day.” The band had two other #1 tunes on the chart — “Discotheque” in March of 1997 and “Lemon” in December of ’93.
The band launches a European leg of their eXPERIENCE and iNNOCENCE Tour on August 31 in Berlin.
