"Light My Fire" was reissued in the UK in 1991, reaching #7.
Their three highest-charting singles in the US, "Light My Fire", "Hello, I Love You" and "Touch Me", have all been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA. This seems to be in the old definition of Gold, that is a million copies sold, as opposed to the current value of a Gold record, which is 500,000 sold. In No One Here Gets Out Alive it is reported that "Light My Fire" sold over a million copies in the US, and as it appears by looking at the cerifications, the same goes for "Hello, I Love You" and "Touch Me", giving The Doors a total of three million-selling singles in the US.
[edit] Remixes
The Doors have recently allowed several dance/electronic music producers to remix their songs. Many believe that this is to introduce their music to a new generation. The remixes and their appearances are:
