For that second "0" week, can we estimate? The first "0" is two weeks combined - hence the boost in sales. But this second is not. My guess would be 1200.

Hey Soldatti - I reckon No.46 in the UK is not too bad. It shows that 'the Bomb' is still holding it's own especially when you consider that there were 8 new entries from No.1 to No. 32 on the top 75 album chart. Also I reckon this means that 'the Bomb' has now sold about 1005200 copies in the UK. Hopefully It can get to 4XPlat pretty soon (though I think that that might take the rest of this year).
Also shame about Sometimes dropping out of the top 75. I was hoping for 9 or 10 weeks on the chart in total - 8 weeks is about normal for a second single from U2. Hopefully it will make a comeback next week with the help of download sales which will be included in the main chart for the first time.

Great result if 'Bomb' ends up in top 50 on Hits this week. But I reckon it'll end up at No.52 (on Billboard chart) with about 18K.

'ATYCLB was well out of the top 60 this same length after release here in the UK, once the tour hits here expect it to climb back in'
Something similar to this was recently posted here. I'm sure ATYCLB was actually in the top 10 at this time but it did drop down to as low as No.65 a few weeks before the Elevation Tour. ATYCLB then took off as the tour approached and reached a peak of No.15. So I agree - I expect a similar result for HTDAAB but I'll be surprised if it spends over 60 weeks on the Top 75 album chart (like ATYCLB).

Re #01: 09/03/2002 64-74 (2 wks)
Total # of re-entries: 3 (Top 10: 1)
Total # of weeks: 62-48c (Top 10: 10-9c, Top 20: 18 Top 40: 33, #1: 1) US:#3/94/3
In its 20th week ATYCLB was at #8 therefore far higher up the charts than HTDAAB is at this stage.

Yes thats true, the bomb is well ahead of where ATYCLB was in terms of sales after 20 weeks. HTDAAB is already at 1,052,000 which is just 30,000 behind ATYCLB's total UK sales. I think the bomb will make it back into the top 5 and maybe even higher when the tour comes around.

Italy: back in the top 20, from 21 to 17 (and Best Of 1990/2000 rises to 97, maybe for the first time in Italy U2 have two albums in the top 100). SYCMIOYO rises from 25 to 22.

Also - Just brought Musicweek magazine and after 14 weeks HTDAAB is currently the 17th bestselling artist album of 2005 in the UK with sales of about 192K. I still think it will end up amongst the Top 50 selling albums of 2005 and therefore reach sales of 1200M (4xPlat) overall. But I doubt it will get to 1500M (5xPlat). Anyone agree/disagree?

A few weeks ago there were 3 U2 albums in the top 100 in Italy : HTDAAB (obviously) + both best of's (1980-1990 + 1990-2000). I think the 2 best of's were just outside the top 75.

It will be difficult for it to hit 5 times platinum, but if Miracle Drug really takes off, then its possible. Also, if you measure the biggest selling albums since November 2004, I'm willing to bet that BOMB is in the top 5 in the UK.

And...
Yes, I hope you're proved correct.
BTW - What do you think of my estimated Mediatraffic figures up to & inc. W.20 (of MT chart)? That's :
6538M + 162K + 140K + 100K + 96K + 90K + 98K = current overall MT figure of 7224M + 93K (W.20 on MT chart) = 7317M
