Depeche Mode was GIGANTIC in the States. They sold out the freaking ROSE BOWL and had over 120,000 people at the show i attended in 88. Right from the get go with Speak And Spell they were pretty noteworthy and had regular airplay at clubs i would go to. Some Great Reward wasn't long after and People are People skyrocketed them into superstar status. I agree with AHA not really being noteworthy in the States, but Depeche Mode was extremely popular.
