ONE love, blood, life
A little late, but it's been 13 years since Pop was released on March 3, 1997.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
@mad1: yes, what a night at botanic gardens, with the plane crossing the center of the spotlights/lightdome during BTBS. i was on a oneweek holiday trip through irland.Let me tell you about my 1997. and hearing Discotheque, then getting PoP at Virgin Megastores before it went bust. and getting the singles on cassettes still, for my walkman, LOL!
But the best buzz was Tues, 26th Aug and U2 bringing PoP to here. My gawd, that was one HELL of a night!
Loved and still love the album.
Plane flying during BTBS? gosh, I think I can remember that, obviously it was unplanned, but that woulda been round or after 10pm?
Oh god yes, the number of people out with me lined across the road and the bridge was amazing. and the residents living just where their homes overlooked the stadium gettin a free concert, LOL!
Oh yeah, NLOTH came out 12 years after it, to the day. Happy birthday to both of them, fantastic in their own ways. However... Pop would be infinitely better without Miami, and fit into Bono's love of 11 track albums (funny enough, AB is THE BEST EVER!!!! and has 12, but still).
Holland, Ireland and Germany I think got the album on February 27th, while the rest of Europe got it on March 2nd. The US release date was the 3rd. The official date for Sweden on the other hand was March 4th, but I was lucky and got the album already on February 27th as well, much to my surprise and delight!I think for the U.S. it was March 3.
Huh? Didn't NLOTH come out February 27? I'm quite sure I bought it that day! Am I confusing things?
So, wow, 13 years since U2 has a top 20 hit
I think for the U.S. it was March 3.
Beautiful Day and Vertigo didn't make it into the top 20?

I don't pay much attention to the charts anymore, so I honestly don't know, but I'll be really surprised if that's the case. I would have thought for sure those two charted well, based on the radio play they both got.
