Anyone who has heard The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” has an almost Pavlovian response to the song’s opening lines. Once it starts playing, it’s almost impossible not to hear a room or crowd immediately start singing along to the synth-rock classic.
First released in 2003, the song would become even more popular when it was re-released a year later, helping skyrocket the band to superstardom. While it’s not only a hit in the U.S., the song has had a massive reach globally, becoming the third biggest-selling song of all time in the U.
