It meant a lot to Ultravox, being their first real major hit.

From Quiz Ultravox - A "Sleepwalk" until "All Fall Down"
Answer:
Vienna
Foggy cobbled street and a horse, a guy in a trench coat, a long staircase, a spider running over a face...the video was inspired by the movie "The Third Man", but only parts of it were filmed in Vienna. Most of it was done in London; one location was a former cinema. As the record company didn't pay up for a video, the band had to organize the video by themselves. They did well.
"Vienna" came out in January 1981 and while it reached number one in some countries of the European continent, it stopped at number two in Britain. As John Lennon had recently been shot his song "Woman" was at the top -the next weeks saw a certain Joe Dolce with his novelty song "Shaddap You Face" blocking the highest spot.
Nevertheless, "Vienna" became the Ultravox signature song, easy to recognize at the first drum beat.
In 2012 BBC 2 listeners voted it Britain's favourite Number Two.
