After adding a keyboard player, the remaining three bandmembers in Joy Division dubbed themselves New Order and became a highly successful alternative rock band by combining the post-punk sound that they pioneered in their earlier band with elements of electronic dance music. Their 1983 hit, “Blue Monday” is the best-selling 12” single of all time.
