I have done out a list of U2's most successful Top 40 singles in the UK. I have compliled this list based on the number of weeks each song spent in the top 40. A week at number 1 = 40 pts, a week at number 2 = 39 pts and so on. So for example Beautiful Day spent 5 weeks in the Top 40. Its chart run was 1-3-14-25-38. Therefore its points total equals 40 + 38 + 27 + 16 + 3 = 124. I hope this chart is of use to ye all.
