"The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage" is a song by the American rock band Panic! at the Disco, released as the debut single from their debut studio album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). The single was released on September 27, 2005, the same day as the album. The song reached number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song also hit number 38 on the Pop Airplay chart and number 5 on the Alternative Airplay chart.
Like several of Panic! at the Disco's song titles on A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the title of this track is paraphrased from the novel Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk.
The Tommie Sunshine Brooklyn Fire Remix of the song is featured in the film Snakes on a Plane and appears on the film's soundtrack with contributions from Sunshine. It is also featured as the B-side to the group's next singles "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "But It's Better If You Do".
