Back in the day, I always used to enjoy watching on VH1 feature programmes counting down the top 40 songs for certain bands. I remember a top 40 Michael Jackson, a top 40 Madonna. However, I have never seen a top 40 U2, and would be intrigued to see one.

I googled to see if it exists. And apparantly it did. Apparantly a show called 'U2: The Official All Time Top 40' aired on VH1, hosted by Zane Lowe. Couldn't find a date.

Did anyone see it? Does anyone know what the full top 40 was? I am desperate to know, but am failing to find the info! If anyone knows please post it here!

Take me to the clouds above was a crappy remix by someone else, which borrowed the WOWY bassline.

From looking at the list, it's basically a top 34... 6 songs shouldn't be allowed in the list as they're not U2 - take me to the clouds, saints are coming (as its with greenday too), one with mary j blige, goldeneye, mission impossible theme, and in a lifetime (whatever that is).

I'm suprised walk on is so low and suprised EBTTRT and TUF are so high.

It's a disco thing, reminds me of Goldeneye, but this last is much better in my opinion, the subtitles said LMC vs U2, I had never heard of it before I watched the programme I wonder if it is something they wrote for another singer, anyway I don't know what it does at the top of the list.

The programme was aired again on MTV2 Europe last week, so they could be repeating it in about two weeks, if you are interested, just check it from time to time.

Saints deserves to be there as much as Miss Sarajevo

Ok maybe saints. But take me to the clouds above, goldeneye particulaly shouldn't IMO.

Just for the record I'm a huuuuuge bond fan - but Goldeneye wasn't performed by U2, therefore not U2 in my eyes

LMC, Goldeneye, Theme from Mission Impossible and In a Lifetime shouldn't be there seeing as it's not the full band playing
 
Haha, I nearly forgot about the LMC song. Wow, that's a surprise.

Super cool that In a Lifetime was in there though, and that HMTMKMKM did so well.

Is this on Youtube or anything? I love a good VH1 special.
