starting to show consistency now, but i dont think we can look too much into it until tomorrow, to stay in the top 40 would be nice, with sales around 40,000

 

[Squire]

Well i doubt this week it will sell 40.000 ...
I predict 20.000 . Wich isn't great by the way...

 

[Yahweh]

All I am looking for is a leveling off point which hasnt been shown yet hopefully it will this week though, fingers crossed on that one.

I think, U2 will be at #30 with sales of 30k

 

[KUEFC09U2]

will it move up the charts? and make a comeback? me thinks it will

 

[Zoovation]

I hope that the sales will be as high or higher than last week. Grammies will help to boost sales this and next week, I hope the fast selling of the tickets too.

If this rate keeps up, HITS will report 37,200 in sales tomorrow and with soundscan finding more hits for the album than HITS, that should put the album over 40,000 for the week! I hope that is the case. It would be great to see the album rebound a little before the the Grammy's, HALL OF FAME take their effect in the coming weeks.

how high do you think the figures will go after the grammys and RnR Hall of fame?

 

[STING2]

how high do you think the figures will go after the grammys and RnR Hall of fame?

In the USA, I think the album will see a 30% increase in sales(from the prior week) after the Grammy awards provided they win their awards. Performing on the show will be a big part of it and they will see an increase regardless if they win or not.

I think the RnR Hall of fame will have a larger effect than the Grammy awards because the importance of the award or achievment is far greater and more important. The band will be the main feature the night of the RnR awards. All artist appearing at the RnR HAll of Fame get a significant boost in album sales in the week following the show.

For the Grammy's, U2 is only nominated in the rock sub-catagory while on ATYCLB, both years they had songs nominated in the major catagories. Of course, next year, U2 will probably be nominated in several of these major catagories as well.

So I predict the Grammy's and Hall of Fame will put U2 back up into the 50,000 to 75,000 sales area for several weeks in the USA.

Best Of 1980-1990 will hit the Top Five on the Catalog Albums chart after the Hall of Fame......my prediction.

Sales figures are looking good.

 

[fitz]

My first prediction (#30 with 30k) seems to be good in order to the place, but my sales figure is to low. I think 40k should be possible, this would be an increase of 20% to the last week!

Not great numbers here - clearly ABOY isn't having the desired effect- although with 4 new enties ahead at this stage some limited improvement.

[KUEFC09U2]

but not bad numbers, still in the top 40, plus a VERY weak chart,

 

[Yahweh]

Seems to have stablized this week thank goodness.
