** While the band's stateside commercial success was limited, Joy Division had a cult following almost immediately in America coming off [[DeadArtistsAreBetter the notoriety of Ian Curtis' suicide]], becoming a posthumous critical favorite and receiving coverage in prestigious publications like ''The New York Times'' and ''Magazine/RollingStone''. ''Closer'' and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" made ''The Village Voice'' 1980 [[https://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/pjres80.php Pazz & Jop Critic's poll]] as imports before their official U.S. releases the following year, as did "Atmosphere", which ''did'' have a U.S. release. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" also charted on Billboard's ''disco chart'', of all places. (New wave was mostly heard stateside in dance clubs at the time.) The band would prove a major influence on AlternativeRock on the other side of UsefulNotes/ThePond throughout the decade and beyond, with "Love Will Tear Us Apart" an airplay staple on CollegeRadio and early commercial alternative stations through the '80s.

*** More recently, the band has gained a following among African-Americans, especially rappers. Why? Well, it could be because of New Order's popularity in the black community leading to fans checking out the previous incarnation. But it might be because, to quote Vince Staples, "Ian Curtis and Music/BBKing were singing about the exact same thing!"
