Just to point out, my estimate of sales was especially low. Note that at position 108, NLOTH still sold over 4300 copies. Therefore, my estimate of 4500 is most likely off by 500. If that's true, we are talking about hundreds of copies here (5000 this week vs. 5500 last week). So not necessarily a drop - just a bouncing around on the charts as I imagine a few hundred copies can make a big difference in that section of the charts.
its up to 35 on iTunes which is higher than its been in ages. I think its reasonable to expect a climb into the top 60 in next weeks BB200. (a whole 7000 copies or so. Don't spend it all on sweets lads.)
Crazy is up to 14 on iTunes Rock Songs. Currently the top 9 on that chart are also on their top 100 overal. So if airplay improves in a similar manner we could see a BB100 entry in the next 2 weeks (after all iTunes is the biggest retailer in the US and several of the songs on their top 100 are recurrents - and therefore not eligible for the BB100)

Your post was on Sat. As I posted elsewhere, right now -Sunday - there are slight drops for the album and song. "Crazy" is #15 and NLOTH is #37. This could really be differences of a few downloads for all we know. Still, being relatively stable for over a day shows that this wasn't just a momentary spike.
If U2 can keep pushing that Blackberry ad, maybe have that SNL or other appearance, officially "release" the track in Sept. while simultaneously starting the U.S. tour, this could finally give the album a push back up. While I doubt it would return to the 20's or higher as it did in various European countries U2 has toured in so far, it should keep NLOTH running steady possibly through the end of the year, thus giving it a nice holiday boost. Not enough to see 2X Platinum, but maybe close in on "Pop's" sales. Normally that's nothing to brag about, but in today's market, those are suddenly great numbers!

what other single they got up their sleeve for the us? how about white as snow,lol. with a remix by trent renzor
And rising on Amazon.com
It's also up to #32 on Amazon, probably one of the larger online retailers for physical disc sales combined with downloads. Yesterday it reached #29, which would have been the last day for this week's BB charts. I do expect a good bounce on this week's BB chart.

If it rises to the 60's at least, then I think that would be indicative of sales improving by at least 1-2K over the week prior.
Of course, despite the rise to #8 on the European charts and in the U.S., it'll drop on MediaTraffic.

The only single material left from NLOTH is called Stand up comedy.

Do you know this for a fact or is this speculation?
What I do know is that there should be four singles. U2.com gave out these boxes that were designed to hold the four 7" singles (that is, vinyl 45 rpm singles that are still quite popular in the U.K.). "Crazy", which is being released on vinyl (as GOYB and "Magnificent" were), will come out in early Sept.
It was very easy for us to guess the second and third singles, but I'm at a loss for what U2 or the label will select as a fourth single. Songs like "Breathe", "Stand Up Comedy", NLOTH or even a shorter version of "Moment of Surrender" could all be possibilities.

Breathe seems far more likely than SUC, especially given its prominence on the tour.
fedeu2
War Child
Its pure speculation on my side but SUC is by far the most radio friendly song left there. Although I like Breathe it has no chance in hell to make a dent in the charts.
But you´re right, the band seem to have forgotten about SUC and thats a shame.
Super Yo
New Yorker
There were rumours about SUC as a single when the album was out, and I also think that is the most radio friendly song left in the record, although i believe that "NLOTH" could be a very good single and a best song to promote in future concerts or any kind of presentations like Tv Shows.

Breathe has the biggest chorus outside of CT, if that doesn't take off on the air... none of us should ever care about the commercial aspect again.

Breathe is the best song left to be released but the most radio friendly is SUC. NLOTH would be the 3rd single left and MOS would be the last option (with a serious radio edit). Breathe might be one of the best U2 songs off of the last three albums....this is just my opinion of course.
Either way, CT is still out their and I feel it might be able to make a dent....a big dent (yes, I said that about Magnificent but this time I think Im right

as much as i like breathe (though prefer, CT, mag, boots, SUC), i think its too similar to the other NLOTH singles. i.e. middle of the road U2. maybe they should mix up and go for a slow one - MOS - and at xmas time.
However if the new album is to be realeased in december (yes highly unlikley) but that would mean NLOTH only has 3 singles, as the new album 1st single would be out in November time.

It seems that Tallarico added incorrectly. Using his numbers he should have had 3657700 (or 3.657.700 or 3,657,700 - depending on your country).
It also seems the differences between the two sets of numbers focuses on two particular weeks - Week 6 (counting the first week when the album was only out in a few countries as Week 1) where the album was #3 worldwide. There is a 1500 difference in sales between the two sets of numbers. Then later, at Week 22 (if I counted right), at position 26, there is a 3000 difference in sales. Can anyone verify which numbers are correct?
Thank you both for doing this!

They released IGWSHA after it was dropped on the Popmart Tour; they also might add SUC to the North American setlist.

But it had been played, no one's even heard a soundcheck of SUC. Strange that they would rework it so many times just to ignore it.

The other thing I find odd is that they are actually selling t-shirts saying "Stand up to rock stars"

This goes to show that if they fall 5-10 spots in a given week, we have no need to panic because they may have even GAINED in sales.
