LemonMelon said:January 2009 - Rumors leak out that a new project is being worked on. Passengers II?
February 2009 - A PLEBAn asks Edge about this project and he starts laughing hysterically. Interference groans.
November 2009 - The previous rumors appear to be true. To buy themselves time, U2 release best of 2000-2010 even though it's not 2010 yet.
June 2010 - Passengers II leaks onto the internet. It clearly has nothing to do with Passengers, but folks stubbornly call it that anyway.
August 2010 - Passengers II is released.
March 2015 - Out of sheer boredom, folks argue about whether or not Passengers II should count as a U2 album.
That sounds about right to me...
