Someone over at the UKMIX FORUMS posted the top 200 catalog albums in the United States for the week ending May 31, 2009, or the Billboard week two weeks ago.
U2 has two albums on the Catalog chart in the USA:
U2 BEST OF U2-1980-90 at #6 with 5,342 copies sold that week. TOTAL SOUNDSCAN SALES in USA: 3,097,898
U2 U218 SINGLES at #165 with 1,309 copies sold that week. TOTAL SOUNDSCAN SALES in USA: 997,207
The #200 album that week sold 1,189 copies. That album was Hank Williams Jr. THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT IN DIXIE
So, any other U2 albums with the exception of "No Line On The Horizon" sold less than 1,189 copies that week.
With the #200 Catalog album now only selling barely 1,000 copies, this just goes to show how much the music business has collapsed in the United States.
