U2 - Beautiful Day - 2000


While the album/radio mix is superb in its own right, the super Perfecto mix by Paul Oakenfold really does stand out on this well known huge pop dance hit from 2000. Everybody knows this song, hell even Barak Obama used it at the Democratic Convention in 2008. It is the first track from their 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind , and it was released as the album's lead single. It was a commercial success, helping launch the album to multi-platinum status, and is one of U2's biggest hits to date. The song became their fourth number-one single in the UK and their first number-one in the Netherlands. The song peaked at number 21 in the United States, the band's highest position since  Discoteque" in 1997. In 2001, the song won three Grammy Awards for Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Best Rock Performance by A Duo Or A Group With Vocal. The song went to # 1 on the US Billboard Dance Chart.
