Notes
1 "Blasphemous Rumours"/"Somebody" & "John the Revelator"/"Lilian" were released as a double A-side single.
2 The original release of "Strangelove" in the United States peaked at #76 on the Hot 100. Sire Records re-released a different version of the single in 1988, in the hopes of a higher chart placement. The re-release peaked at #50.
3 On the United States, Australian & New Zealand charts, the megamix "Route 66/Behind the Wheel" (as opposed to the single version of "Behind the Wheel") is the song that charted.
4 "Dangerous" and "Halo" were not released as standard singles. They managed to chart on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, which measures airplay on alternative rock radio stations in the United States.
5 "Goodnight Lovers" was not chart eligible (a single with more than one unique song must have no more than three tracks to be chart eligible ("Goodnight Lovers" had four).
6 "Remixes 04" were limited edition 12 inches of Depeche Mode remixes released to compliment the 2004 remix of "Enjoy the Silence". Due to the fact that the singles had different lead tracks to that of "Enjoy the Silence" they charted separately on the UK Top 250 Singles Chart. See Enjoy the Silence#Chart success for more information.
