Any other U2 single not on this list was not released in the UK. And the SOI singles were not eligible to chart as far as I understand.
From looking at this list, look at how low YTBTAM is!
I know the charts have changed over the years, but really - it is almost rock bottom! I don't even know if the SOI singles were eligible to chart, but other than this, TBT is U2's lowest ever charting song in the UK from the post-boy era!
PS - Does anyone know what numbers those "???" singles got to in the UK?
I know they didn't reach the top 100, but does anyone know where I can find out what exact number they peaked at?
