Top singles from the past

9 October 2025

Irish superstars U2 released their king-sized hit
BEAUTIFUL DAY today, 25 years ago, on 9 Oct 2000.

It was the opener of their formidable (along with Achtung Baby my 2 fav U2 LPs)
10th album All That You Can’t Leave Behind, produced by Brian Eno and Daniel
Lanois.

The song was a huge commercial success, helping launch the album to multi-platinum status, and is one of U2’s biggest hits to date. No. 1 in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and several European countries.

Bono explained that the upbeat track is about
losing everything but still finding joy in what one has.

Beautiful Day won 3 Grammy Awards. The Irishmen have played it at every
one of their concerts since the song’s live debut on the Elevation Tour in 2001.
