In March 2018, U2 announced that "Pop" would be reissued and remastered on vinyl alongside "Wide Awake in America" (1985) and "All That You Can't Leave Behind" (2000) on 13 April 2018. "Staring at the Sun" was performed live during U2's 2018 Experience + Innocence Tour, which Andy Greene of "Rolling Stone" described as "a rare onstage acknowledgment that "Pop" is a thing that happened." In 2018, BBC included it on its list of "acclaimed albums that nobody listens to any more".
