System Addict 2005

"System Addict" was remixed and re-released in July 2005. Although it did not repeat its 1986 success and failed to enter the UK singles chart, it did hit #1 on the UK Dance Chart.[citation needed]

The video to the single was an updated version of the 1985 original version, with more graphics added to make it look like someone was on a computer "updating" the video.
