New Order Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Blue MondayNew Order1rank/position

New Order – Blue Monday 88 (Official Music Video)

New Order, the British band that fused the chill of post-punk with the vitality of dance music to forge a unique sound.

Released in March 1983, this track is a groundbreaking dance number that became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time.

Some may remember it being used in a Sunkist commercial.

Its repeating, impersonal synth phrases and mechanical beat evoke that inescapable Monday-morning lethargy and a sense of inner emptiness.

Produced around the time of the classic album Power, Corruption & Lies, its sound had a major impact on later club music.

Rather than forcing yourself to fight a melancholy mood, this is the perfect track for surrendering to a cool beat and getting through the day.

Pefect KissNew Order2rank/position

The Perfect Kiss (2015 Remaster)

This is a song by the band New Order, whose distinctive, hard-edged synthesizer sound and strong electro flavor make it fascinating.

The tightly pulsing arpeggiated synths and the various effects that come in like sonic wildcards are quintessentially ’80s, suggesting the use of cutting-edge sounds of the time and evoking the era.

And yet, the way those sounds layer remains fresh no matter when you listen.

RegretNew Order3rank/position

New Order – Regret (Official Music Video)

New Order, the great techno-rock band from the UK that built a bridge between techno and rock and gained widespread popularity—including a large fanbase in Japan.

From early in their career, their innovative yet pop-leaning sound incorporating synthesizers became hits not only in their home country but also in the U.S.

Many musicians from the alternative rock generation openly cite them as an influence.

While New Order have produced plenty of floor-friendly dance tracks, they’ve also created numerous classics with wistful, nostalgic melodies.

Today I’d like to highlight “Regret,” a song that perfectly fits the sense of nostalgia that late summer brings.

The synth tones in the intro, Peter Hook’s melodic bass lines, and Bernard Sumner’s vocals—singing with a naive yet defiant emotional edge—are achingly beautiful and absolutely superb.

It leans heavily into guitar rock, so I recommend it even to those who aren’t into techno.

World in MotionNew Order7rank/position

New Order – World In Motion (Official Music Video) [HD Upgrade]

This track is a brilliant fusion of the passionate spirit of soccer fans and the artist’s musicality.

Sung over an electronic soundscape, it celebrates the players’ passion, team spirit, and the joy of the moment when the world comes together.

A rap section performed by members of the England national team brings a fresh breeze to the song, expressing the union of music and sports.

Immediately after its release in May 1990, the track reached No.

1 on the UK Singles Chart, and during the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, it was adopted as the official anthem of the England national team, winning fervent support.

It’s a perfect song for cheering during a match or for pumping yourself up before an important game.
