Blue Monday (No.1)
Back To 1983Choose A Different YearNext Video
"Blue Monday" was originally released as a 12" single (Fac 73) in March 1983 by New Order on the now legendary Factory record label.
The song is supposedly the biggest selling 12" single of all time, although there are no official charts to support this. It should also have received gold status from the British Phonographic Industry, but never because Factory Records were not part of their click.
The song has been released 3 times in total, the original release peaked at No.9 on the UK Charts in August 1983, the second release at No.3 in May 1988, and the third release at No.17 in August 1995.
