It was the first [[single (music)|single]] from their fourth album, ''[[Adore (The Smashing Pumpkins album)|Adore]]'', and exhibited a new sound from the band which integrated traditional instruments with [[Music loop|loops]] and [[electronic music]]. "Ava Adore" and the B-sides were written by [[Billy Corgan]]. When released as a single in May 1998, "Ava Adore" reached number one in Iceland, number two in Greece, number five in New Zealand, and the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, it reached number 42 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], number three on the [[Alternative Songs|Modern Rock Tracks]] chart, and number eight on the [[Mainstream Rock (chart)|Mainstream Rock]] chart. ==Music video== The music video was released on June 1, 1998, and was directed by [[Dom and Nic]], featuring the band in gothic-inspired clothing and walking through a variety of scenes. The video, filmed in one long take, is notable for its use of [[slow motion|slow]] and [[fast motion]] while the speed of the camera is apparently static, and the band continues to [[lip sync]] to the song in perfect rhythm. The calculations required to work out the speed changes caused massive delays on set, causing the band to nearly call off the entire plan.<ref>Corgan, Billy and James Iha. Band Commentary for "Ava Adore. " ''[[Greatest Hits Video Collection]]'' DVD. 2001.</ref> The sets seen in the video were arranged in a configuration resembling a hallway, in which a rave sequence functioned as the end of the hall. Instead of continuing to the right, the camera rotates to the left, revealing the artifice of the visuals. The music video won an award for "most stylish video" at the 1998 VH1 Fashion Awards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.steveprutz.com/sp/awards.html|title=The SP Heart: Awards won by the Smashing
