Week 36

[ChargedVT]

The results for Sweden are in and OMG have a look...
These sales were for the week in which the concert was held, looks like it had a pretty big effect!

Joshua Tree #7 (#34)
Atomic Bomb #9 (#31) PLAT
Best of 80-90 #13 (#42) GOLD
Best of 90-00 #18 (#50)
Achtung Baby #32 RE PLAT
All That You... #42 RE PLAT
Rattle And Hum #52 RE GOLD

The Joshua Tree outselling HTDAAB and in the top ten, thats just crazy but very welcome!
Expecting similar results for Denmark when its updated tomorrow. Last week in that country the Bomb jumped from 43 to 10.

 

[edge3]

Yep, that is incredible also...& JT at # 7!! What next? Pop re-entering the top 10!?

 

[Zoovation]

Amazing news...

 

[Zoovation]

The first effects of the Munich show can be seen in the Amazon Charts. The bomb was always worse than 60 (even out of the Top 100 for a while) and it's now 37. BO 1980 is 70 and BO 1990 is 96. I think that we will see the effect on the 'real' charts next week, i think that it will have the same position in Week 36.

Amazon Charts UK: Bomb 76, all the other albums are far away from the Top 100.

 

[Zoovation]

Amazon Charts Germany:

Bomb 35
BO 1980 45
BO 1990 85

Amazon Charts UK:

Bomb 76
JT 216

Amazon.com Charts (USA only?):

Bomb 46

Amazon Charts France:

Bomb 61
BO 1980 182

I think that's on amazon overall - so amazon France, amazon Germany, amazon UK etc all added up.

...good results though

 

[edge3]

Good results from Canada this week :

Bomb : # 84 (# 94)
City : Sales # 4 (# 5), Airplay # 31 (# 34)

 

[Zoovation]

Still good news from Austria:

Bomb : #31 (25)
Best Of 1980-1990 : #33 (32)
Best Of 1990-2000 : #64 (51)

City Of Blinding Lights : #73 (54)

It's the Billboard 200, not the Hot 100.
The real position is #190 this week, sorry, a small mistake.

 

[beLIEve]

Eurocharts for week 36

Billboard has updated the Eurocharts...

HTDAAB rises another spot to 16
COBL rises 12 spots to 37

Should mean another week on the World Charts

 

[ChargedVT]

As I predicted, fantastic results from Denmark...

HTDAAB #2 (#10) !!!!!!!!!
Best of 90-00 #23 (#45)
Best Of 80-90 #24 (#38)
ATYCLB #66 (#99)

Slane DVD #1

Great news from Mediatraffic:

Bomb stays at #31 but now with 4xplatinum certification

 

[STING2]

Great news from Mediatraffic:

Bomb stays at #31 but now with 4xplatinum certification

Interesting, Edge3 had estimated the album was at 7,955,000 last week, and the album could have easily sold 45,000 copies this week to arrive at 8 million, so it looks like Edge3 is right on the money with his estimates.

 

[Zoovation]

Great news from Mediatraffic:

Bomb stays at #31 but now with 4xplatinum certification

Fantastic result. That's because of the high positions in the countries where the boys played and because of a stabilization of the position in the major markets. 4x Platinum is really great, 8.000.000 sold in only 8 months and mediatraffic represents not all the sales.

City stays at 21 for the third week which is great. Worldwide, the single has a lot of succes.

What were the positions of SYCMIOYO?

 

[edge3]

Wow!! Bomb at # 2 in Denmark...City up 12 spots on Eurochart...Bomb 8xPlat at mediatraffic - these are fantastic results!!

Well, well, so MikeUK was right : i actually under estimated somewhere along the line. I'll now have to change/increase the figures a bit - i'll increase the last 3 weeks to 44K in w.35, 40K in w.36 & 39K this week. The figures now add up to 8M exactly (a definite minimum figure) :

7,802,000 + 37,000 (w.33) + 38,000 (w.34) + 44,000 (w.35) + 40,000 (w.36) + 39,000 (w.37) = 8,000,000...awesome result & it's fair to say that this is only 85-94% of the actual total.

great news on mediatraffic, i was expecting the 8xplat next week.

Bomb #54 (#57)

 

[fedeu2]

So, worldwide consumers sales of Bomb are definitely over 8,5 million!
Considering 9 million copies were reportedly shipped a couple of months ago, I guess a new shipment is in order, right?

The 10 million mark at the year end doesn´t seem so out of reach after all, although for that figure to happen, a massive single is required, specially in the US.

Well, well, so MikeUK was right : i actually under estimated somewhere along the line. I'll now have to change/increase the figures a bit - i'll increase the last 3 weeks to 44K in w.35, 40K in w.36 & 39K this week. The figures now add up to 8M exactly (a definite minimum figure) :

I don't deserve any credit here - all I did was report the Hitlist reported sales for this week ! It would be good to have an official & detailed comparison of Bomb's sales on both charts. Hitlist had 2004 (5 weeks)sales of Bomb at 4,214,600 - do we recall whatthe mediatraffic total was ?

4,460,000 at Mediatraffic after 5 weeks (incl. 84K in Japan in 1st week)...strange...i would have expected the Hit List figure to be higher. Any ideas why?

I think the fact that Mediatraffic considers also in how many countries a album is charting could have an influence on the charts. The sales were as high for Mediatraffic because they give points or the number of charts the album is charting. But the difference is really strange because it's opposite now with higher sales on hitslist. What do you think?

Yeah, good point Zoovation but mediatraffic only use points to determine their weekly top 40 chart & not for the artists/albums that they give sales info for in their weekly news commentaries. So this totally rules U2 out as they gave the sales figures for Bomb in the 1st 5 weeks.

Maybe Hit List had less sales info or had a different system 8-9 months ago?

 

[edge3]

Poland...good results :

Bomb : # 25 (# 31)
JT : # 32 (# 32)

 

[edge3]

Maybe Hit List had less sales info or had a different system 8-9 months ago?

or maybe the 5th week cut off point for sales, to the end of 2004, was only 3-4 days at Hit List...so they only had about 400K in sales for Bomb instead of the 850K or so that it sold in the full 7 days (which they had at mediatraffic)?
