Radio Play shows Sometimes moving down a few spots on some charts and up a few spots on others...the song has peaked, though. Here's the charts that have already updated this week:
mediabase.com:
Hot AC
Sometimes falls one spot to 17 with decreasing plays
Rock
Sometimes rises one spot to 23 w/o increasing plays
Triple AAA
Sometimes is LOVED on this format, as it dropped to as low as 3 behind Dave Matthews American Baby and Coldplay's Speed of Sound. This format is updated daily with a 7 day running total. Today, is rises 2 spots to reclaim it's position at #1 w/bullet.

MGB Top 40 (Midwest radio play)
TW LW 2W Single by Artist {Weeks Top 40, Top 10, @ #1} Peak
30. --- --- We Belong Together - Mariah Carey {debut} #30
29. 28. 18. It's Like That - Mariah Carey {13, 2} #9
28. 35. --- Baby I'm Back - Baby Bash {2} #28
27. 11. 7. Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani f/Eve {19, 11} #3
26. 29. 31. Sometimes You Can't Make It... - U2 {5} #26
25. --- --- Incomplete - Backstreet Boys {2} #25
24. 30. 30. Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson {4} #24
23. 23. 29. Scars - Papa Roach {6} #23
22. 26. 20. Disco Inferno - 50 Cent {17, 3} #8
Like the American Music Charts, this is very much a "Pop/Mainstream" radio chart, and U2 has risen 14 spots, steadily, in the 5 weeks it's been on this chart. Sometimes is still a regional and format radio hit!

Mediaguide.com has updated their radio play charts. Records and Radio is definitely the most thorough and accurate radio play chart(s), but this one is better than mediabase.
AC
Sometimes holds at #44 w/bullet
College Singles
Sometimes falls 11 to 88
Hot AC
Sometimes holds steady at #20
Vertigos slips 3 to 42
Mainstream Rock
Vertigo up two spots to 34
ABOY down 7 spots to 42
Sometimes down 1 spot to 46
Triple A
Sometimes rises from 3 to 2 w/bullet
National 100 (total album tracks played)
HTDAAB slips to 49 with 6221 plays
(Reference point: Green Day falls to #3 but with 20,222 plays)
****************************************************
Net Music Countdown
Alternative:
Sometimes holds at #8
Hot AC
Sometimes down 6 to #10
Album Sales
HTDAAB down 1 to #6
****************************************************
HTDAAB free falls out of the Top 25 at Amazon.com for the first time. The rest of the back catalog has drifted way back...the tour did it's job while in California and the rest of the West. After this week's disappearance from the States and "mini-break", U2 will finish strong in May on the tour, hitting major markets from Chicago to the Northeast. I think we'll see a small bounce in total sales after next week.
Sometimes is hanging in their as a modest radio hit, but I do hope COBL hits the radio and video channels before June 13. Again, I don't think this song is the ideal single, but it is certainly popular on this site. I would think Miracle Drug, OOTS, and even A man and a woman have more potential. I hope U2 releases 7-8 singles from this album, and with a tour lasting another 12 months potentially, this just may happen.
