There were some seats on either side in the A-seating that were empty during the Sydney concerts. I was meant to sit there, but I was moved right around to another area on the side of the stage (couldn't see the screen, but i could see the band).
We were moved because the tents for the sound...
so nothing from POP or Zooropa... how pathetic.... common STUCK and Elevation weren't that popular to take the place of Discotheque or SATS or HMTMKMKM
My bro bought the U2 Zoo TV in Sydney video. I was only about 7 or 8 when it came out, but when I was watching it, I was just amazed at how familiar and awesome all the songs were to me. That was the catalyst.

11. October

I'd like to think that you could give HTDAAB a factor of 1.4, but I still think that might be a bit generous. Don't forget a lot more people bought in the first week of HTDAAB compared to ATYCLB because it was running off a really good previous album (in the eyes of the public/media).
I'd say...
FINAL NUMBERS:
U2 at 48 (down from 35)
with 19,986 -44%
so the album didn't not increase by 1 sale in that last 7 or so %... that's unfortunate. Would've been good if it had crossed over 20,000.
are these the number of U2 albums sold in Finland just in 2004, or from their release date up until the end of 2004?
Cause if that's just for last year, those are very high sales for catalogue albums, particularly for a country that small.
I grew up with U2, so the songs from back then - Lemon, Mysterious Ways, Love is Blindness were all pretty important, but the one that did it was New Years Day. When I heard that I was captured.
