the second single for most of the world was "the sun always shines on tv" ("love is reason" had failed to hit the norwegian top 40 earlier in the year), and the band followed its massively successful music video with another critically acclaimed clip for the song. starting off as a sequel of sorts, harket breaks away from his happy ending to join his band in performance amidst mannequins at a rural church, saint albans in teddington, which has since become an art gallery. "the sun always shines on t.v." improved upon the first single's success in the united kingdom, hitting number one and remaining there for two weeks in january 1986. it was a top-10 hit nearly everywhere it was released except in the united states, where it peaked at #20 and would be the band's last major hit to date in that country. the single sold 5 million copies around the world. the track was remixed as a dance version, which was a top-5 hit on the u.s. dance chart, and b-side to the single and remix was the otherwise unreleased "driftwood."
