I wonder had POP done well in the US would they still be playing it today? In their own words in U2 by U2 they were hurt by the commercial and critical failure that it received Stateside, Edge mentions that Rock fans down south weren't ready to see their favourite Rawk band dressed up as "The Village people" they certainly had moved as far away as possible from the sound that made them so successful.
