There's Boots chart run on iTunes around the world
It's been dropping fast in the US
The fact of the matter is that it is tanking on I-tunes.
Rather than shoot the messenger (Perez Hilton), perhaps people should explore why the song is looks like it is going to be a commercial flop.
I'm befuddled and a little angry that my favorite band put out such a tuneless, hookless, inaccessible piece of music out as a leadoff single.
My questions would be:
Did the band expect it to be well received commercially?
Or did the band do it just because they can - to knock the public off balance?
Did they put this song out to fight the notion that they are an "adult contemporary" band, over the hill, yesterday's news?
I think they must have known it was not a viable commercial single.
People need to release that US is not the whole market here! Boots will easily go to No1 all over Europe and Rest of the World!
The US market is poor to judge how good songs/albums are as the US listen to so much crap its unbelieveable!
To get a proper idea on if a song or album is any good you need to look at the Europe market espically the UK one
That's what happens when you release a grower as your lead single.
It's more of a sign of music fans than it is of U2.
I can smell the arrogance and self importance from across the Atlantic.
Man, I'm getting tired of all this whining. Can't we just close the whole album forum und re-open it when the album is released?
I say tank away!
NA arena tour.

In the current economic climate, U2 better have the goods because people will just as soon save their money for more important things, like paying their mortgage that they fell 2 months behind on.
Perez Hilton is so gay it is not funny anymore. And I live in Amsterdam so I really don't have a problem with gay people. Hé, I even have gay friends (no, I don't but that is the poltically correct thing to say, isn't it). He is not man, not a woman but a little troll that looks like he has been run over by a bus a couple of times. God, I just don't like the little fucker.
i still cant belive that after ONE week of the single being out, people are now talking about the album flopping?, the album is number 3 on amazon.com chart with pre-orders only.
POP went #1 in its first week and dropped precipitously thereafter, selling a little more than 1million copies in the US total. Don't harp on presales.
Don't you realize that if tickets don't sell, shows being canceled is a likely scenario? I doubt the whole US leg would be scrapped even if NLOTH tanks badly here, but you might find yourself driving a couple of hundred miles just to see them.

question for the mods - after reporting a redundant post, is mocking then allowed?
