U2, renowned for their anthemic sound and socially conscious lyrics, continues to captivate audiences in 2025. With over 170 million records sold globally, the band, featuring Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr., has maintained a distinct musical identity throughout their evolution.
One of their iconic tracks, 'Vertigo,' remains a fan favorite. Released in 2004, 'Vertigo' marked a return to U2's rock roots and quickly gained international success, boosted by its use in an Apple iPod commercial. The song's opening count-off, 'Uno, dos, tres, catorce!' is instantly recognizable.
'Vertigo' secured three Grammy Awards in 2005, including Best Rock Song and Best Short Form Music Video. Its high-energy sound has solidified its place in U2's live performances, remaining a staple in their concerts. As of May 2025, U2's Spotify streams continue to climb, reflecting their enduring popularity and influence on music lovers worldwide.
