still quite impressive for bomb imo, to outsell ATYCLB and still remain in the top 70 is greatedge3 said:UK...City still going strong despite dropping off top 50 airplay chart...Bomb not so good :
Bomb : # 66 (# 57)
City : # 56 (# 57) - new record : no 3rd single off a U2 album has ever spent 9 weeks on the top 75 (let alone the top 60!).
...not sure about sales yet but i would guess Bomb sold about 3500-4000.

Thanks SOLDATTI
16% increase in sales. A Jump of 27 places on the chart!
Ok, why did this happen? Was it the HBO TV show? Or is COBL starting to catch some fire?

COBL seemed dead just two weeks ago. The song raced up the Triple A charts all the way to #3, hit #7 on Mainstream Rock charts, and about 4 weeks ago, started showing up as "taking off" on Hot AC, and the video debuted at #15 on MTV and #18 on VH1.
Then, it seemed to run out of steam. MTV dropped it two weeks after it charted, it stayed at #18 for a couple weeks on VH1 and then disappeared, it started dropping fast on Mainstream Rock, disappeared from HOT AC completely, and even appeared to peak on Triple A, as it dropped from 3 to 11 with a two week trend of declining spins.
About 5 days ago, COBL stopped falling on Triple A. Now, it's gaining spins and stations fairly rapidly again, and it's risen back up to #5. Also, it just showed up on the HOT AC "taking off" chart again this morning. The video seems done and these two formats are all that are playing the song right now.
All of this comes from mediabase.com, which gets updated every 12 hours. I usually check it every day, which allows for near realtime airplay numbers. All of U2's singles in the U.S. have hit #1 on Triple A format except for COBL. It appeared that COBL was destined for a complete flop, and maybe it still is, but the trend over the last week is interesting. If COBL continues on to the top of the Triple A format, it will have a much better chance of spilling over to the HOT AC/Adult Top 40 radio format, which is MUCH larger, and who knows where that would take the song. It's still probably a longshot to show up on BB, but it's not dead yet.
Sometimes is the #1 played "recurrent" on Triple A, and would place at #22 on the chart based on it's current airplay. It also shows up on the HOT AC recurrents, and Vertigo drops in and out of the Top 30 on Mainstream Rock as a recurrent as well. ABOY has actually cracked the Top 20 of the Active Rock format as a recurrent in the last few weeks, too.
So, for whatever reason, all 4 U2 singles have seen some increase in airplay on the usual radio formats in the last few weeks.
