The album really has been going up in EVERY market. I really hope that Mediatraffic sales begin to reflect this. I mean, we are taking about across the board the album is moving up the charts!

Wow that is some rise in the UK, is that down to the appearance on JR or the new blackberry ad? or both do you think?

very very good rise anyway imo :up:

I think it's now due to the ad because it's still 40 on itunes

Crazy Tonight is up to fifth in total U2 songs while Lemon is still number 1

What the heck is it with Lemon???? Its been the #1 U2 song for awhile now in the UK.

Its nice to see a rebound of sorts in the UK. They will be in the UK in two weeks or so, then the album should rise even more. Hopefully the Blackberry ad will sustain sales until then.

I would predict the album to be back in top 20 throughout August in the UK. They are touring Uk in mid Augut which means publicity and maybe people going to the shows who suddenly think oh i better get upto date with the new album. Also hopefully Crazy will be released to Radio 1 this week add this to the blackberry ad which i am seeing more and more i think we should see a few weeks around the no 20 mark.
 
do you reckon this is the plan for next 18 months or so:-

August - Crazy Released, 360 leg 1 finishes

September - 360 leg 2 starts

October - 360 leg 2 finishes Moment of Surrender released for final push for some sales on NLOTH for Xmas

February - New Single & New album released

April - 360 leg 3 starts (US)

May - 2nd single from new album released

June - 360 leg 4 starts (Europe)

August - 3rd single from new album released

October - 360 leg 5 (RoW)

November - 360 tour on Bluray 4 disc special in time for Xmas!

December - Well done boys you can have a break! well deserved!



*heres me hoping!!!!!
