U2 formed in 1976 when the drummer posted a note to the school bulletin board. Over forty years later, the band is still producing music and touring the world with the same line-up they have had ever since the 1970s. U2 have become one of the most successful rock bands of all time, releasing fourteen studio albums and over seventy singles. In this book, the reader is guided through each release, song by song, from the band's first album "Boy" (1980) until the single "Your Song Saved My Life" released in 2021.

U2: Song by Song charts U2's rise to success, documenting chart positions, and awards given to each song.
