:up: Ireland #24 (#30) - great result! Show's Croke Park maybe starting to increase album sales. If only the same was happening in UK - I fear Bomb will drop off the top 75 in UK tomarrow :sad:

Bomb still out of top 50 album chart
DVD chart : U2 Go home - Live from Slane Castle re-enters dvd chart at #31 (3xPlat/45K)

Also : currently hearing COBL on UK radio for first time (bbc radio 1) - but, & I hate to say it, I'm almost certain Bomb will drop off UK top 75 album chart tonight :sad:

:up:....well how wrong can I be? TOTALLY wrong. Bomb INCREASES by 6 SPOTS in UK to #66 - amazing! I should stop following the hourly amazon album chart so closely. Total sales should now be about 1073000 in UK - just 10K away from total sales of ATYCLB.

COBL is #7 on TV airplay chart.

I will now sleep better tonight. :wink:

The album is now 4x Platinum in UK for shipments of 1.2 million according to BPI.

I just checked the certified awards section at www.bpi.co.uk and did not see the 4x Platinum certification. What is your source for the new sales level?

Great news from France - should now be close to/or passed 360K.

Spain : #58 (#58 last week - #64 the week before/3 weeks ago)

Also : I expect Bomb to increase on European album chart this week - the tour & COBL seem to be already increasing sales. :) :up:
