"Personal Jesus" was ranked No. 368 in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and was voted as one of the "100 Greatest Songs Ever" in Q magazine. This was the biggest-selling 12-inch single in Warner Bros. history to that point.
This was inspired by Priscilla Presley's book Elvis And Me, where she described their relationship. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode said: "It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis was her man and her mentor".
