Here's the latest numbers...
NLOTH 31,000
Magnificent 25,000
Moment OS 19,000
Unknown Caller 15,000
Crazy Tonight 14,000
Stand Up C 10,500
Fez 10,500
White As Snow 10,000
Breathe 10,000
Cedars 8,000
That all adds up to about 155,000 plays for the non-Boots tracks. The rest of the 150,000 or so plays from their page today is split between Boots and every other song in their catalog -- and they have like EVERY song available for streaming on the myspace page. So there is no way to tell exactly how many plays Boots has gotten today unless someone was keeping track and saw what it was at yesterday...
And these numbers mean that about 31,000 people got on today to listen to parts of the album and only 8,000 or so listened to it ALL THE WAY through. Some might have been getting on just to tease themselves with the first couple tracks...
Anyone else find interesting how the number of people gets smaller with every track further down the album. Maybe some people are not liking this.

We just don't know. I could think of an explanation that goes the other way. What if some people just wanted to listen to a couple tracks to decide if it's good enough to buy. Perhaps they listened to the first three and made up their mind that it is good, they will buy it and listen to the rest later

U2 is a "buy" album band as opposed to the big singles band.

Could be. But it really looks weird that every track, in the order that they are on the album, has more listens than the previous.

So, about 1/5 of all listeners give up after the title track.
By Moment of Surrender, 1/3 have jumped ship entirely.
By Unknown Caller, 1/2 the initial audience is gone.
Then Crazy Tonight/Boots do a bit more damage.
It really does look like the album is going to be a tough sell, but then again, it doesn't really have any catchy hits, so...

I personally am ok with this. I'd rather have this as a critically acclaimed album and not nearly as popular as All that they should have left behind and how to dismantle a horrible album.

I had trouble figuring it out also, so I figured might as well post some directions to make it easier for others
You go to U2 on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
The music player starts out playing the Get On Your Boots single
Look to the left of the music player and you'll see the GOYB single cover, and just above that is the NLOTH album cover.
Click on the NLOTH album cover.
The NLOTH tracks will appear.
Listen.

I wouldn't look too much into the dwindling plays for each track. When an album streams on myspace, this is ALWAYS how it plays out. Most people checking out the album are more casual fans, not hardcores....they're just "curious" to hear a sample (maybe deciding to purchase or not), and they're just not looking to sit through a 55 minute album while sitting at their computer.
U2.com also added an unbelievably high quality version of the GOYB video to their media player. It's 75MB.

Unfortunately, myspace streams mp3s in like 16 kbps quality, and the stream itself is incredibly unstable. It froze and switched from Magnificent to Moment Of Surrender for no reason whatsoever.
