War Child
I think U2 have a better than good shot of hitting number 1.
My reasons:
1. M&M isn't in their catagory
2. D Child isn't in their catagory
3. Vertigo is healthy, if not fantastic, on the charts (but certainly better off than BD at this point.
4. Download sales are very, very good.
5. I-tunes commerical is 90% positive buzz from what I can see. And Apple is running this spot A LOT. I've seen it like eight times already, and I'm not even looking for it.
6. Presales are head scratchingly high. We don't have numbers for it, but Amazon.com has had the album in their top 20 for a month now, and in the top 10 for over a week, and in the top 5 for the last few days. THIS IS A MONTH OUT STILL.
-----------
My guess is that if U2 can do 700,000-750,000 they could pull it off. Yes this would be a record for them, but it IS being released on THE week for music sales in the USA.
Just trying to keep the faith...
