It is cool if U2 is not your favorite band, that is the case with many people here, and we talk about many other bands. But we usually don't go into the sales figures of other bands. Pretty soon everyone would be asking for the sales figures of all their favorite bands and it would start to be taxing on the few people who always post sales here. And as I said before, I would have given more credit if your first post was about U2 and then you later asked about Linkin Park.
If you are a fan of both bands and actually want to take part in the forum, then welcome and I apologize for being rude. We actually are nice here (most of the time). If you are only here to get Linkin Park sales figures and then leave, well, that is not what this forum is for.

First of all, this is a U2 forum, so the (main) focus is on U2. While we try to find as much info as possible about U2, most of us don't look for other bands.
Second, we just had a whole situation here with a huge Metallica fan. This person started by asking questions about Metallica figures and ended up trolling this forum. So please understand that we're a bit cautious here.
C ya!

P.S. Welcome to Interference, care to introduce yourself?

Sorry if I came across as information greedy guys. My name is Jake, Im a 19 year old boy and I have a lot of respect for U2. If I had to pick my fav song by them it would be "I still havent found what I'm looking for" from the Joshua tree album. That is their best cd right? I even have the HTDAAB cd. My fav song from that album is "City of blinding lights". U2 is one of the greatest bands ever and I so desperately want to see them live, unfortunately their concert tickets sell out faster than a blink of an eye.
About Meteora, I just wanted to have one last update on the album because it is reaching it's two year mark and it is just shy of hiting 5 million copies and I am obsessed with it reaching that mark. The week of March 9th it was at 4,957,759 copies sold. You know when an album reaches it's two year anniversary it is retired from the billboard 200 and moved to the pop catalog charts. It's almost impossible to ever see it selling in there unless it is in the top 20. I thought just maybe someone would know what it sold last week 3/16/05 but if you guys don't know It dosent bother me at all.
Someone mentioned it was out of the 200 this week but do you mean out of the 200 or the 100? Because it was #123 two weeks ago. If so it sure did fall off fast. Or maybe perhaps it already moved to the pop catalog charts.

I said before that I would apologize if you were a fan of U2 and wanted to talk about U2. So I apologize. Welcome. We have just had our share of trolls here. No hard feelings?
In terms of best cd, many would argue for Achtung Baby instead of Joshua Tree. If you don't have it, get it, you won't be disappointed.
Yahweh said:I would say get Achtung Baby next it is the essential 90s album from U2 and in my mind their best album. Good to see a new fan and I am sure you will be one for awhile.
Songs that you may have heard on Achtung Baby are One, Even Better Than The Real Thing, Mysterious Ways, The Fly, Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses...and Until The End Of The World....its well worth the money im sure everybody here has given it hundreds of spins!

ajax said:there are some interesting news at @u2.com:With the sudden success of "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" in the U.S. (the song is No. 1 on the AAA format and gaining interest at other formats), Interscope has rushed a 3rd version of the song to radio stations. This latest version is known as "Radio Edit 103 BPM", and has a running time of 4:30. The two previous radio promo singles were "96 BPM", which ran 4:51 long, and "99 BPM" at 4:39. Sounds like some radio programmers felt those two versions were a bit too long or too slow. The new version, while only a few seconds shorter, has a noticeably quicker pace.
