Album sales?

[AchtungZooropa]

Does anyone have the most up to date sales of each U2 album? I search through dozens of backpages, but couldn't really find a topic about it. I'd really appreciate it if someone could post them in here.

Off memory, the Peeling experts will probably correct this:

ATYCLB 12 million, Bomb 9+ million, Pop and Zooropa about 7 million each (though I have read anything between 6 and 8 million for Pop), first Best of 15 million, second Best of at 6 million, AB 17 million, Rattle and hum 15 million, JT over 20 million, UF and War around 6-7 million.

I don't know about the first two albums, and not sure of exact amount for JT.

It should be noted that these are estimates that we have determined based on certifications from around the globe, various articles on U2 and just general sales trends. Island has not released anything stating specific numbers.

Also, these numbers are worldwide sales, not U.S. Best estimates for U.S. sales are the RIAA certications. That said, it should be stressed, the actual sales are usually above the RIAA certification. For example, "Pop" is only certified as Platinum (meaning 1 million copies sold), but actual sales of "Pop" to U.S. customers is about 1.5 million. Likewise, "Zooropa", ATYCLB and HTDAAB have all sold more than their last certification (2x, 4x and 3x Platinum, respectively).

Follow up question, will that number for HTDAAB move up or has it evened out at 10 million?
