Em 30 de Marco de 1978, o U2 teve sua primeira menção na Hot Press da Irlanda, uma influente revista de rock. A breve menção dizia: "Recém formada em Dublin a banda de new wave U-2 conseguiu uma brecha no rock n' roll quando eles ganharam o prêmio maior de 500 libras num concurso de bandas co-patrocionado pelo Evening Press e Harp Larger que ajudou recentemente na Semana Cívica em Limick. Isso é o que vocês chamam de arrasar..."
A Hot Press anuncia anualmente as bandas vencedoras escolhidas pelos leitores e realiza o Irish Music Awards para entrega dos prêmios.
Em 14 de Marco de 1985, a revista Rolling Stone colocou o U2 na capa com o destaque: "Nossa escolha: Banda dos anos 80". Foi uma das maiores honras que a banda recebeu até hoje nos EUA. O artigo explica que para muitos fãs, o U2 tornou-se "A única banda que interessa."Rolling Stone é uma revista norte americana baseada na música, política, e cultura popular que é publicada mensalmente.
