Strangelove (song)

"Strangelove" is a song by English electronic band Depeche Mode, released on 27 April 1987 as the lead single from their sixth studio album, Music for the Masses (1987).

It was an international success, reaching number 16 on the UK Singles Chart, number two in West Germany and South Africa, and the top 20 in several other countries, including Ireland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. In the United States, it reached number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the first of nine number ones on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it stayed for three weeks at the top. The band considered the song instrumental in helping them break into chart success and broad popularity in the American market, which they had struggled with for most of their career to that point.
