The group's popular live performances have ranged across multiple elaborate tours over their career. </p><p>The band was formed when the members were teenaged pupils of <a href="/wiki/Mount_Temple_Comprehensive_School" title="Mount Temple Comprehensive School">Mount Temple Comprehensive School</a> and had limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with <a href="/wiki/Island_Records" title="Island Records">Island Records</a> and released their debut album, <i><a href="/wiki/Boy_(album)" title="Boy (album)">Boy</a></i> (1980). Works such as their first UK number-one album, <i><a href="/wiki/War_(U2_album)" title="War (U2 album)">War</a></i> (1983), and singles "<a href="/wiki/Sunday_Bloody_Sunday" title="Sunday Bloody Sunday">Sunday Bloody Sunday</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Pride_(In_the_Name_of_Love)" title="Pride (In the Name of Love)">Pride (In the Name of Love)</a>" helped establish U2's reputation as a politically and socially conscious group. Their fourth album, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Unforgettable_Fire" title="The Unforgettable Fire">The Unforgettable Fire</a></i> (1984), was their first collaboration with producers <a href="/wiki/Brian_Eno" title="Brian Eno">Brian Eno</a> and <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Lanois" title="Daniel Lanois">Daniel Lanois</a>, whose influence resulted in a more abstract, <a href="/wiki/Ambient_music" title="Ambient music">ambient</a> sound for the band. By the mid-1980s, U2 had become renowned globally for their live act, highlighted by their performance at <a href="/wiki/Live_Aid" title="Live Aid">Live Aid</a> in 1985. Their fifth album, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Joshua_Tree" title="The Joshua Tree">The Joshua Tree</a></i> (1987), made them international stars and was their greatest critical and commercial success. One of the world's <a href="/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums" title="List of best-selling albums">best-selling albums</a> with 25 million copies sold, it yielded the group's only number-one singles in the US: "<a href="/wiki/With_or_Without_You" title="With or Without You">With or Without You</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/I_Still_Haven%27t_Found_What_I%27m_Looking_For" title="I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For">I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For</a>". </p><p>Facing creative stagnation and a backlash to their documentary and double album <i><a href="/wiki/Rattle_and_Hum" title="Rattle and Hum">Rattle and Hum</a></i> (1988), U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s. Beginning with their acclaimed seventh album, <i><a href="/wiki/Achtung_Baby" title="Achtung Baby">Achtung Baby</a></i> (1991), and the multimedia spectacle of the <a href="/wiki/Zoo_TV_Tour" title="Zoo TV Tour">Zoo TV Tour</a>, the band pursued a new musical direction influenced by <a href="/wiki/Alternative_rock" title="Alternative rock">alternative</a>, <a href="/wiki/Industrial_music" title="Industrial music">industrial</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Electronic_dance_music" title="Electronic dance music">electronic dance music</a>, and they embraced a more ironic, flippant image. This experimentation continued on <i><a href="/wiki/Zooropa" title="Zooropa">Zooropa</a></i> (1993) and concluded after <i><a href="/wiki/Pop_(U2_album)" title="Pop (U2 album)">Pop</a></i> (1997) and the <a href="/wiki/PopMart_Tour" title="PopMart Tour">PopMart Tour</a>, which polarized audiences and critics. The group re-established a more conventional, mainstream sound on <i><a href="/wiki/All_That_You_Can%27t_Leave_Behind" title="All That You Can't Leave Behind">All That You Can't Leave Behind</a></i> (2000) and <i><a href="/wiki/How_to_Dismantle_an_Atomic_Bomb" title="How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb">How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb</a></i> (2004), which were critical and commercial successes. Sales of subsequent albums declined, but the group remained a popular live act. The <a href="/wiki/U2_360%C2%B0_Tour" title="U2 360° Tour">U2 360° Tour</a> of 2009–2011 held records for the <a href="/wiki/List_of_most-attended_concert_tours" title="List of most-attended concert tours">most-attended</a> and <a href="/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_concert_tours" title="List of highest-grossing concert tours">highest-grossing concert tour</a> until 2019. <i><a href="/wiki/Songs_of_Innocence_(U2_album)" title="Songs of Innocence (U2 album)">Songs of Innocence</a></i> (2014), the first of two companion albums in the 2010s, was criticised for its pervasive release through the <a href="/wiki/ITunes_Store" title="ITunes Store">iTunes Store</a>.
