So 70k on pre sales alone but I'm not sure how many "week of" sales there will be since a lot of people already have the album. Not to mention, NO announced promos in the US yet and half of next week they are in Europe promoting the album.
You might have me beat!!!! I might have to go online an order 100k copies from Amazon.

LOL. Well, we shall see. Not sure if they will end up around 70k, or closer to 100kish, depending on how all this will be tallied and what Billboard was really saying with their statement.
Lets face it. The big bands are having trouble hitting 2 or 300k going the traditional route. So for U2 to give it away for 5 weeks, they really can't get to a big opening number.
But that's ok. I have to agree with Bono that the charts are indeed broken. People's listening habits are SO scattered now, that the old standards of tracking "popularity" really holds no real meaning.
I like to see them do well. But maybe having 80 million people hear at least some part of what they created is what true success is now.
