I don't know. That is a tricky question as we have the UK and US charts to deal with. Not only that, but Depeche Mode was rather subversive throughout their time. Most of their best stuff probably never made it to radio. Van Halen was one of those Rock powergroups that were way overplayed and still are.

That's a pretty big list you got there,Rush. :o

So there you go. Depeche Mode had more chart hits. Not that it really matters, anyway... Chart hits don't necessarily make the better band! (Although, the better band had the most chart hits in this case!) ;D
