Have other U2 albums re-entered the Billboard 200 as well when NLOTH was released or while they were touring the US in 2009 and 2011? Do you have any figures?

 

[Maoilbheannacht]

Have other U2 albums re-entered the Billboard 200 as well when NLOTH was released or while they were touring the US in 2009 and 2011? Do you have any figures?

Catalog albums were only allowed to enter the regular Billboard 200 starting in 2010, so there was definitely no U2 albums on the Billboard 200 besides NLOTH in 2009. A Catalog album is an album that has been available for purchase for 2 years or more. On the Catalog chart, U2 18 and U2 1980-1990 occasionlly are seen. I'm not sure what those albums sales were in 2009 when NLOTH was first released. Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree used to appear on the catalog chart during the time of ATYCLB and HTDAAB, but I have not seen either since at least 2005. The Catalog chart does not always get posted though.

Album sales are generally very low on the catalog chart and dropping. The vast majority of the albums are greatest hits albums and the #200 album sometimes does not even sell 1,000 copies. Such lean sales makes it easier for a 1 week burst where an artist total catalog increases dramatically in chart positions. None of the Coldplay albums except the new release sold more than 8,000 copies and 10 years ago that would have been too low to make the Billboard 200 album chart even if they were to allow catalog albums on the chart.

I think part of the reason that catalog albums are now allowed on the Billboard 200 chart is because sales for the entire chart would be lower if only new albums were included.



Here is the Billboard Catalog 200 chart for March 29, 2009 to April 5, 2009 a few weeks after NLOTH was released:



9 ISL 38 52 79 U2 BEST OF U2-1980-90 2,058 2,443 -16 3,078,546
13 INT 16 36 81 U2 U218 SINGLES 2,022 2,733 -26 983,006

The above shows that two weeks earlier 1980-1990 was at #38 and U218 was at #16. That was the either the week of the release of NLOTH or the week after. For the March 29 week, they are at #79 and #81 with sales of 2,058 and 2,022 respectively.

It would be interesting to look at that Catalog Chart for the first week of NLOTH release in 2009 but this was the closest week I could find which is 2 or 3 weeks after the initial release of NLOTH.

Week 2 of NLOTH was :

18 Singles : #10 (BC)/#122 (BBT200) with ~5k
Best of 80-90 : #21/#145 with ~4.5k
Joshua Tree : #32/#193 with ~3.7k

Week 2 of NLOTH was :

18 Singles : #10 (BC)/#122 (BBT200) with ~5k
Best of 80-90 : #21/#145 with ~4.5k
Joshua Tree : #32/#193 with ~3.7k

Cool! I guess that means the #16 position above for 18 Singles was the 3rd week and the #79 position the 5th week.

Nice to see that Joshua Tree did chart. Now that I think about it, Billboard did have a 200 chart that included the catalog titles, but the one used for official chart positions at the time did not include the catalog titles.

Were there any other U2 albums that made the Billboard Catalog chart in week 2 for NLOTH or was it just the two best of's and Joshua Tree? The Published catalog chart only has the top 50 positions, but the soundscan chart has up to 200 positions.

One thing to remember is that Coldplay does not have any best of albums so anyone that wants Coldplay has to buy one of the individual albums. U2 on the other hand has three best of albums which naturally cut into the sales for the individual studio albums.

Hard to believe that were only 4 months away from the 25th anniversery of the release of the Joshua Tree. A quarter of a century.

Thank you.
No Achtung Baby Anniversary in the Catalog charts. Does that mean that it sold less than 1,146 copies in its first week?

And what about the "total" figures in the Catalog charts? They don't mean the number of sales since the album has been released, do they? I'm sure The Best of 1980-90 has sold more than 3,078,546 copies and AC/DC's Back In Black sold has more than 2,475,271 copies since they've been released.

It was just those 3 in the BB published top 50. I never saw the full SS Top 200 that week.

 

[Mirrorball06]

I think part of the reason that catalog albums are now allowed on the Billboard 200 chart is because sales for the entire chart would be lower if only new albums were included.

The main reason to include catalog albums are as I remember the revival after Michael Jackson passed away and the release of the remastered boxset by the Beatles.

In the case of MJ, three of his catalog albums are 1, 2 and 3 at the Comprehensive charts and sold more than the actual #1 album at that time.

And 6 or even 7 catalog albums by the Beatles re-enter the top 10 at the Comprehensive charts.

.

Hold your horses, we won't see how the Achtung Baby anniversery edition did until next week. It still has 36 hours of more selling before they can even begin to count up how much it did. We'll know this Wendsday how it did officially, or unofficially at the end of Tuesday with info from "building album sales chart".

And what about the "total" figures in the Catalog charts? They don't mean the number of sales since the album has been released, do they? I'm sure The Best of 1980-90 has sold more than 3,078,546 copies and AC/DC's Back In Black sold has more than 2,475,271 copies since they've been released.

1. Sometimes the totals only refer to the latest version of the album.

2. For older albums especially, a lot of sales happened prior to Soundscan starting in 1991 or before soundscan covered 90%+ of the industry in the United States.

3. The totals are only for soundscan sales in the United States.

4. Shipment totals will always be a little higher than soundscan totals because stores will keep some product in inventory and some consumer purchases are not tracked by soundscan such as buying an album from a "Record Club".

5. RIAA figures for GOLD, Platinum and multi-platinum are based on shipments figures to stores. Artist usually use shipment figures when stating how much an album has sold in a specific country or worldwide.


In the case of U2 1980-1990, this is only the A side version and does not include the B-side version which has sold another 1 million copies.

As for AC/DC, It may be that the count is only for a more recently released version of the album or much of the albums sales came before Soundscan tracking was in use or widespread. I know Back In Black sold over 10 million copies in the USA by 1990, a year before Sound Scan was introduced and 10 years before it was covering over 90% of the market in the USA.
