"Everything Counts" is Depeche Mode's eighth UK single (released on July 11, 1983) and third US single (released on November 2, 1983), from the then upcoming album Construction Time Again. <br /><br />The single is a pivotal release in the band's career, as the members attempted to transition from the pop numbers of their early years to a more sophisticated sound; it would be the first single of the transition period to hit the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart. <br /><br />It was the first in a long line of industrial-inspired singles released by the band, and has been referred to as "arguably...the first English-language industrial pop hit." <br /><br /> The single was re-released (in live format) on February 13, 1989 (March 25, 1989 in the US) to support the live album 101.
