1993

An Island Records April Fool Joke saw employees in the promotions department being told to prepare for a new U2 single: a Country and Western song with a lead vocal by Adam Clayton. Imagine their feelings on finding a couple of months later that the band were delivering a whole album recorded and mixed in between dates on the Zooropa tour, to be led off with a techno-style song with a monotonic Edge vocal.

The Zooropa album was released as the tour gathered momentum in Europe, selling 300,000 copies in the UK in its first week, with Numb gaining the most airplay due to its to being promoed to radio DJs on CD. Lemon was promoed to club DJs on two 12" singles featuring 6 mixes in the UK but was never released officially, making Stay the first officially-released single from the album to chart in the UK.

The soundtrack album to Wim Wenders' Faraway, So Close! features early versions of both Stay and The Wanderer.
