The single reached number one on the Australian singles chart on 16 November 1987,[2] #7 on the American Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on 21 May 1988,[3] #10 on the Canadian Singles Chart, #53 on the UK singles charts, and #4 on the NZ Top 40 Singles chart in November 1987.[4] Released in August 1987, it was the second single from their number one album Man of Colours on Regular Records in Australia, and, with a slightly different cover, on Chrysalis Records for European and North American releases. It is played regularly on Australian radio stations and remains one of their most popular songs according to listeners of Triple M in 2007.[5] John Oates became involved with Davies after contacting him to state he was a fan. The resulting collaboration produced this song and Oates has stated that if Davies had not released the song under the Icehouse name then it would have been a Hall and Oates track. In Australia, "Electric Blue" was available for a limited time on 7 inch blue vinyl. A remix version by Skipraiders was released on the Icehouse album Meltdown in 2002.[6] In July 2007, it was covered by pop artist Steve Ward at the Pink Lemonade Breast Cancer Foundation fundraiser. On 5 September 2011, "Electric Blue" re-entered the Australian (ARIA) Singles Chart at #80.
