The third hit single in the current run for Depeche Mode. The familiar pattern is starting to emerge here, a sizeable first hit released in advance of the album ('Barrel Of A Gun'), a smaller second hit ('It's No Good' which in all fairness deserved its Top 10 placing by dint of being one of the best tracks on the album) and now this new hit which settles rather lower on the chart, in many ways a shame as 'Home' shows off once again their talent for sophisticated balladry - even if it does sound worryingly like Erasure. This Number 23 placing will come as something of a disappointment as if the single fails to progress any further it will be the first Depeche Mode single to miss the Top 20 since the live version of 'Everything Counts' in February 1989. You have to respect the overall consistency of their chart positions. Since their chart debut 'Dreaming Of Me' peaked at Number 57 in April 1981 their only single since to miss the Top 30 has been the import-only 'Little 15' in May 1988.
