MTV Awards 1997 in New York according to: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/flashback-u2-perform-please-at-the-1997-mtv-video-music-awards-20130806

Some more U2 info, 10 songs to come with a well known, considered as one of their best, overplayed song which didn't get enough votes to make it in the list.
Also remarkable; New Years Day only got 6(!!) points.

And with 38 songs to go, I think it will be New Years Day when I post the top 10

So it is Born To Run then? Because you've written Thunder Road but posted a Born To Run video?

Which song is it? Thunder Road (as in the text) or Born To Run (as in the video)? I'd be surprised too if Thunder Road fell that low...

It's Thunder Road... Made a mistake, fixed it now.

It's too low, in my opinion too

This might say something about the band trying to be radio friendly recently. As drewhiggins posted in another thread (HTDAAB underrated?):

'No hit singles....cliche as it is, art stands forever. Hits stand a week on the radio and 35 seconds in someone's music player."
