I think I´m with sting2 here. I cannot see how X&Y will eventually get to the 13 million mark.
As for singles, remember that, barring a few exceptions, the last singles from an album are not the most successful. Not that any of the first three singles from X&Y had been true monster hits either.
I would say that Vertigo was a bigger hit than Speed of sound, both in the US and worldwide.

You are illogical. You say that the Bomb sold over 9m and X&Y will sold 11m which is not a big difference, but you give actual sales for the Bomb and you will still counting week after week, and you take as reference figure for Coldplay their sales only during their charted time in the mediatraffic list, it's totally unfair.
You have 2 solutions : You count only charted time, which mean 8m for U2 and at least 11m for Coldplay, or "final" sales (we will say until 2008) and they will be about 10m for the Bomb, and easily over 13m for Coldplay.
Don't forget that they will still releasing singles, their tour is absolutly not ended and many awards show still to come for them, and they are already over 8.5m !
I will be very happy that the Bomb is by far a better success than X&Y, but it's the opposite, numbers speak from themselves.
