ATYCLB in the UK Yes, it did reach triple platinum, and has sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone. I estimate (because copies in the UK for this CD are numbered) they are very near 4 x platinum - as the versions in stores are numbered between 1,200,000 - 1,330,000. Best Of 90-2000 - is...

Solar... what an awful cover ! Mike::scream:

get real This is a joke - right ? a fillersong ? That award goes to When I Look At The World - Stuck is as overlooked as I Still Haven't is - although I agree the former had two dodgy videos - an area the boys can improve on. Mike

Mrs Edge Jess My hard drive packed up - so I lost everything, including your e-mail address !!! Drop us a line Thanks Mike (number uno fan)

boo hoo Okay, so I can't make it this time - what a b*mmer ! A real shame to miss you all, esp the chance to meet my (beautiful) friend Mrs Edge ! That said I WILL get across `the pond' this year, and who knows who I might meet then. ALL - have a fab time ! Mike :wave:

maybe Maybe I will make it, all the way from the UK ? Just need to juggle work, house move & $$$??? Mike

Week 12 In the World Chart Best Of falls to 15 - now needs a publicity push from Hands. Bastian - the link is www.mediatraffic.de/albums In Ireland it falls just one place to 8 Mike

In week 11 U2 drops to No 10 on the World Album Chart - still a pretty good performance ! Mike

Europe A bit late I know, esp as I have already posted the Week 10 placing on the World Chart, but Best Of is at No5 on the European Chart for Week 9. Mike

Best Of drops one place to No 9 in the World Chart - still a pretty good performance considering the competition. it will be interesting to sewe if Hands provides any new sales impetus ? Mike PS in Ireland it rises one place to No 5

More Even if we do compare The Stones & Nirvana to U2 - on a worldwide sales basis U2 has still outsold both of these in 2002 - lets not get hung up with just US sales !". In terms of `old school' artists then only Elvis did better last year - his comiplation of No 1s selling over 8 million...

Europe & World positions Add to the above: World Chart - 8 Europe Chart - 5 Mike

World Chart and in the World Chart the Best Of is at number 8 this week - pretty good going and no doubt helped by its position in the European chart. Mike

5 million sales =commercial failure ? I don't often agree with J, but in respect of the US Sales (rather than copies shipped) of Best Of 90-2000 , he has a point. But we should not only look at US Sales. Music Week (UK bible on sales) reports that Best Of has `sold' 5 million copies worldwide...

No 5 in Europe For w/c 4/1/03 Best Of 90-200 is at number 5 on the European chart. Mike

Best of 3 x Platinum Best Of 90-200 has been certified as 3 x platinum (300,000 sales) in Canada. !! Mike

In Europe a double CD only counts as 1 sale in terms of certification - and IFPI certify based on actual sales to consumers, rather than copies shipped. I wouldn't be surprised if it is certified at 3 million for end of Dec sales, even though the link with the European CD chart hasn't been...

Sting - Europe top 20 CDs website Try www.charts.boom.ru/eng/music/europe/albums Mike

European top 20 In week 5 U2 holds at No 3 - a magnificent achievement given the glut of high profile new releases this past 4 weeks. Sting/Doctor Who - I have now found the website with this (and related) info and will post details later. Mike

The Elevation Tour DVD/Video has (finally) been certified in the US - as 2x Platinum. Mike

UK certification In the UK the Best Of 1990-2000 was certified as platinum on the 8/11 - clearly copies shipped in thois instance, rather than salers. At the same time Best Of 1980=1990 was certified as 5 times platinum. Mike

According to the ifpi the 1990-2000 Best Of has sold (not just shipped) 2 million copies already in Europe. It has platinum/multi platinum awards in 10 European countries and gold awards in 5 others. These figures show (again) that Europe is U2s biggest (and most supportive) market in terms of...
