Notes:

The significant releases here are the UK promotional 7 inch single, and the UK promotional CD single. Instead of the image of Martin (on the 7") or Alan (CD) with the naked girl (as per the commercial releases), these releases features a simple black cover.

This was one of the highest selling US single releases in the history of Warner Brothers records.

For the US promotional 12 inch release, Sire/Reprise opted to issue "Personal Jesus" as an unlabeled white label release, with the acoustic version of the track, so as to get radio to hear the track without thinking "Depeche Mode" as they heard it.
