top 150 Us Airplays last week: #116
Seems way too low for the numbers we've seen. I expected within the top 40 maybe higher in airplay. I wonder if "airplay" on billboard includes music videos played or something??

Does this mean that GOYB debuted at #21 on the Hot 100?
• U2's "Get On Your Boots" blasts onto the Modern Rock and Triple A radio charts as it arrives at Nos. 8 and 1 on the respective lists. It's the band's highest bow on the Modern Rock chart since 1997, when "Discotheque" opened at No. 3. On the Triple A list, it's the chart's first No. 1 debut. U2's new album, "No Line on the Horizon," will be released March 3 . . . "Boots" is U2's 36th Modern Rock hit, dating back to when "Jesus Christ" debuted at No. 11 on Sept. 17, 1988, the second week of the chart's existence. U2 also continues to reign as the act with the most overall Modern Rock hits, ahead of Pearl Jam's 32.
The numbers are in and the results are disastrous for Bono and the lads!
U2's shiteous underwhelming new single, Get On Your Boots, has debuted at an extremely disappointing #21 on the Soundscan singles chart.
The song sold just 57,267 copies in the past week in the U.S.
By contrast, Kelly Clarkson's, My Life Would Suck Without You, is a massive hit.
The first American Idol has come in at #1 on the Soundscan singles chart and sold more than four times as many singles than U2.
My Life Would Suck Without You was bought (legally) by 279,605 in the U.S. this past week.
BIG difference!
Sucks for Bono.

Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You makes its expected debut atop Nielsen SoundScan's Current Digital Tracks chart this week. According to a press release from her label, MLWSWY sold 279,605 downloads in its first week -- the third-biggest digital song debut ever for a female artist. For comparison, the next-highest debut belonged to U2. The group's Get On Your Boots sold only 58,000 downloads.
Vertigo debuted at #46... of course that was before Billboard started counting digital downloads.n.37 in Hot 100 Us for Get on your boots.
For a rock song (of an old rock n roll band is good...)
They open the grammy awards this year so that should have some impact.
