I found this report detailing U2's worldwide album sales up until 2016. Some of it would be based on certifications but some is more accurate (US, UK, FRANCE). Very interesting CSPC: U2 Popularity Analysis – ChartMasters

Those of you like myself that are traveling far to see these shows, are you already in the process of finding flights and accommodation? If a show is 10-11 months away surely there needn't be a huge rush to make sure everything is finalised immediately? Cheers!

... it really isn't live, most of it. Firstly, why just play Bono's pre-recorded parts when he's right there and able to sing them? The keyboard I can understand being pre-recorded, although Edge could manage that considering the keyboard and guitar aren't playing at the same time. But then...

Don't know if this has been covered years ago but on the last few tours Bono has been singing something that I can't make out in I Will Follow, it goes "If you walk away... (Aggarpay)". He was doing it in the Milan DVD and even on the recent Australian gigs. What is he actually saying and what...

Hey, I have some old U2 promo CDs that I want to sell, but have absolutely no idea what they are worth. Is there a site anywhere that would be able to tell me this information?

I figure this would be the best place to put this... Was wondering what are the highest notes Bono hits on this album. Some that come to mind are in MOS... "I've BEEN in every black hole" etc, Also at the end of Breathe's chorus, where he sings "BRE-EATHE now"

Okay, so everyone is going mad here over GOYB being on the radio all over the world as of Monday. But as of yet I have not heard the slightest shred of information about when the video will start being shown. Doesn't that usually happen just after the song hits radio. If so, it should only be...

I was just wondering if anyone knew the release date or had heard anything about when this DVD is being released here in Australia. I know its coming out all over the world in the next week or two, but here in Australia I haven't seen or heard anything about it anywhere. It's not even on the...

Ireland #91 (#58) Netherlands #73 (#57)

Okay so what countries do we have information for end of year so far? I know of these.... Austria #48 New Zealand #14 (only 3 wks counted) UK #19 Netherlands #38 All up, with week 6 included, I estimate sales of 2.6 million, though the two world chart sites are about 10% lower. For the first...

This week in Australia... Saints Are Coming #1!!!! HTDAAB back in at #36 DVD Vertigo Chicago #1 Zoo TV #3 Slane #13 90-2000 #33 Good to see the tour pushing sales.

As the title says, how well do you think this album will sell? If the previous two Best Ofs had not been released before this point I would straight away say this album would sell 15-20 million... However those Best Ofs are sure to take sales away. My estimate: 7 million Greatest hits...

With all the massive publicity of the release of U2 by U2, I haven't actually heard when it will be released here in Australia... Anyone able to tell me?

I was looking on Ebay and on a couple of occasions I've seen people hawking off General Admission tickets to the upcoming Aussie gigs, and apparently they are tickets that automatically let you into the Ellipse. Now I was under the impression that it was first in best dressed, and I've not seen...

2005 End of year charts now in... Top 100 albums, HTDAAB at #26 (very good, was #23 last year with just over 130k) DVDs, Go Home is at #11 and Live in Chicago at #15

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but.... For 2005, (well, Nov 04 - Nov 05) How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is the eighth biggest selling album. It is also #1 on the Internet Albums chart. Link here http://www.billboard.biz/bb/biz/yearendcharts/index.jsp#

http://www.infodisc.fr/CDCertif_Album.php At this link is the top 1000 albums since 1968 for France. Here are U2's sales... some don't seem quite right, and one wonders how old this chart is because I couldn't find HTDAAB on it. Joshua Tree - 2,071k Achtung Baby - 882k Best of 80-90 - 851k...

Many thanks to a member of UKmix for this information. Up until earlier this year Platinum was 100k (now 80k) so this goes to show just how popular U2 are in Italy (VERY). Some of these numbers are a little odd though... for instance i remember seeing an end of year chart for 1998 with Best of...
