2-4-6-8-7-6-5-5-5-11-9-14-11-15-x (out of top 30)-30-24-x
 
what do you think edge 3? why uk peopole dont like much this dvd,uk is the 2 market for u2 in the world
 
How many copies do you think this dvd sold now in all of the world? 1 milion is realistic?
 
Could be, here in the Netherlands the DVD was the top-selling DVD of 2005 with only 5 weeks on sale of that year. The Slane DVD was 10th though, makes U2 the only artist with 2 DVD's in the top 10, u2 DVD's are big here in Holland.

Chicago is still in top 10 and hasn't been out of there since the release.

4th this week, still impressive.

Don't know exactly - maybe it's just being marketed better in ROW. It hasn't done badly in UK though... i mean the 7th best seller of 2005, with around 80k, after just 7wks is still pretty impressive.

Btw, the music DVD market is not the same as the cd album market... i mean in France it's been certified for 100k & in Spain 75k so maybe these music dvd markets are comparatively bigger than UK (definitly NOT for cd albums though).

An update then :

Most likely around 300k sold in USA (56k sold in 1st week)
Certified Diamond for 100k in France (as at early Feb)
Approx 90k sold in UK
Certified 3xPlat for 75k in Spain
Certified 4xPlat for 60k in Australia
Certified 3xPlat for maybe 10k in New Zealand
Certified Gold for 3k in Switzerland

Total = approx 648,000 sold/certified so far in these 7 countries.

I would guess it's at 800-900k sold/certified worldwide though according to Paul M. they sold 2m DVD's in 2005 - so maybe it's more like 1m(+).
