Depeche Mode - Everything Counts

  • 17 years ago
"Everything Counts" is Depeche Mode's eighth UK single (released on July 11, 1983) and third US single (released on November 2, 1983), from the then upcoming album Construction Time Again.

The single is a pivotal release in the band's career, as the members attempted to transition from the pop numbers of their early years to a more sophisticated sound; it would be the first single of the transition period to hit the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart.

It was the first in a long line of industrial-inspired singles released by the band, and has been referred to as "arguably...the first English-language industrial pop hit."

The single was re-released (in live format) on February 13, 1989 (March 25, 1989 in the US) to support the live album 101.
