Actually, not so much. The first week sales of the 80's "Best Of" - which was the 2-disc set - sold 203,000 copies! That's a rather impressive sum - especially for what is a greatest hit set. In fact, the 2-disc set sold so well in Canada that it debuted at #1 - beating out Alanis, who is...

Perv! I'm reporting you to a mod. Oh wait... ;) Atomic Boob Alert! In the event of an Atomic Boob, do the following: Take cover! The safest place inside any building will be near the interior. Be sure to find a nice cozy spot, like in or on a bed.Store emergency equipment permanently in a...

There are TONS of ways around the copy protection - and it doesn't have to be recording to analog at all. However, they would require a tiny bit of work by this person and he/she might not have the desire, technical ability or necessary software to make .mp3 files of the songs. So be it - not...

Hmmm.... The link DID work. I have a feeling webmail disables it. Try clicking here to go directly to the page. Then right click and save as on the first link on the page (should be obvious). Or you can just click on the first link and the song will play.

I'll help you out ArthDent. Just right click here and save the file.

Can you type out or post the link, cuz I'm not seeing it. And I wonder if they'll ship to the U.S.

I'm not seeing the CD box + DVD on play.com any more. They just have the CD or CD + DVD. Am I just missing the special box CD set? And what's included in this set?

I was thinking the same thing, Sting2. We all know that these days most songs chart based on airplay alone, as many songs don't even have a CD single. And your comments about Billboard being behind the times is accurate as well - I highly doubted that Billboard would've incorporated iTunes...

As true as this is, sadly, U2 is STILL not played on Top 40 radio stations, not like the UF-AB era. I'm also a bit worried about week 2 for "Vertigo". I have yet to hear this song on the radio. Now, I admit, this has a lot to do with the fact that I only listen to the radio in the car while...

I disagree. If there were two versions of "Vertigo" out, fans would buy both - not split their $$ between the two. Given Eminem's enormous popularity, I think the fact tha "Vertigo" is still outselling his songs on iTunes says something. Also, I'm not impressed at all by his latest single...

There is also some disagreement in that forum (Peeling Off the Dollar Bills). Sting2 estimates 25M, while others, like Doctor Who, estimate 18M (U2.com also reported this number during the ATYCLB era). What's for certain is that JT is "Diamond" in the U.S. (10 million shipped) and 6x Platinum...

Oh, and I didn't think you meant me specifically - but I was one of those who commented about Edge's words. I completely agree that Edge can't completely hide behind his computer. That said, I have a far greater likelihood of meeting you (say, at some U2 concert) than I do of The Edge...

Excellent work Jick! Q's comments were rather brief, but I loved reading the tidbits from the band. :yes:

It bothered me, but I do not feel I overreacted at all. If you or I or any other member of this forum were to have used that same analogy, we would have been called on it - by our fellow forum members and most likely the mods. This has happened in the past when "Hitler" analogies were tossed...

Paul McGuinness is the person that cares about #1. But it's his job to do that. ATYCLB debuted at #3 - never reached #1. Yet its first week sales were around 428,000, which was greater than AB, "Zooropa" and "Pop"! ATYCLB produced the best first week sales for U2 in the SoundScan era, yet...
