'''''Head Like A Hole''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 3]]''''') is the second single by [[Nine Inch Nails]], and the second single from debut album ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]''. It was released on March 22, 1990 by [[TVT Records]] in the US, and on September 142, 1991 , by Island Records in the UK. The single also serves as a companion [[Remixes|remix]] album of sorts to ''Pretty Hate Machine''.

In 1993, on the now defunct Prodigy message boards, Trent Reznor made the following comment about the circumstances of the maxi-single release:
<blockquote>"Also in case anybody was wondering, the 'down in it' single was only going to be released on vinyl (because my old record label sucks) so i put most of it on the 'head like ahole' single (which obviously IS on CD) - then the greedy record label releases 'd.i.i.' on CD which is quite redundant. Sorry if you feel ripped off." [http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/display/327]</blockquote>
The maxi-single's disc art reveals the tempo for "Head Like A Hole" (115 BPM) and "Terrible Lie" (88 BPM). On the US version, there's an unlisted bonus track featuring a clip of Heather "Princess" Day from Dance Party USA shouting "Let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails! Woooo! They're GOOD!" Also the first track on the UK single version is mislabeled: instead of ''Slate'' it should read ''Clay''.
