In summary, U2 is charting all over the globe...Vertigo was number 2 in a couple countries, Argentina has 3 singles in their Top 100, and I really have to wonder about mediatraffic's standard answer regarding their sales accuracy being roughly 90 to 95% of Global sales. On average, that may be the case, but U2 is one of the most far reaching bands on Earth, and I have to wonder if perhaps they sell more than 5% of their albums outside of the countries tracked on the Global Chart. Anyway, hope you enjoyed a brief look at a few countries around the globe.
