"More" is a song by English rock band the Sisters of Mercy, released in 1990 as the first single from their third album Vision Thing. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for five weeks, starting 15 December 1990. The song was co-written and co-produced by Andrew Eldritch and Jim Steinman.

In September 2023, for the 35th anniversary of Modern Rock Tracks (which by then had been renamed to Alternative Airplay),[1] Billboard ranked "More" at number 96 on its list of the 100 most successful songs in the chart's history.[2]

Reception

AllMusic writer Dave Thompson calls "More" among the most dramatic songs of its time and notes "the key to the song is a chorus that simply soars on gutter gospel backing vocals."[3]

Consequence was less positive, using the song as an example of the Sisters of Mercy not seeing their full potential, calling it "not one of their best singles" and "not very good in any context."[4]
