what if they un-release an album??
The longer U2 takes to release a new album, an old release slowly fades from their catalog.
KISS HER, GEORGE MCFLY!!!!!!

When they realize they are too old to compete in the charts with people younger than their children, I'm afraid they'll just stop. I don't think they'll go the Springsteen route and just make music without an agenda or timetable in mind.
They want to be #1 in all respects; radioplay, ticket sales, album sales, downloads, t shirt sales, etc.
...and that all just sucks.
#1 in ticket sales is cool.
And not only that, but when you think of the songs U2 pulled out for 360, like
In A Little While
that's pretty nice.
I'm afraid the album isn't going to be the hit that they're hoping for, despite working with all hip young hitmakers of the day. The fact is that they're OLD. The fans and a few casuals who figure "why the hell not?" will be the only people who buy it. It's very likely to be the first U2 album that doesn't sell 1 million copies in the US, for example, unless it has a huge hit single.

I think the reason that it might not sell 1 million copies in the USA is because most people no longer actually buy music. They have other ways of obtaining it for free. 2014 is almost half over and so far there are only FOUR albums that have sold at least 500,000 copies in the USA at this point in the year.

it's relevant!
U2 emptied HQ today - guitars, drums etc... all tagged with U2 London June 14 so I'm guessing it's studio time next week in London
Suuuuuure... they were just taking a little break. What's the rush?
