Tallarico · 02-26-2006, 07:08 AM

Great!
Someone can tell me how many copies for each album u2 sold in Australia?Thanx!!!

edge3 · 02-27-2006, 05:51 AM

guess it sold 1-1.5k then & it could well get to 4xPlat (280k) by end of the year (about 265k now).

I'd hope it'd hit 280,000 by April. Wouldn't it be reasonable to think the tour here will inspire 15,000 sales over the next month? That's not even 4,000 per week.

DignityPassesBy · 02-27-2006, 07:25 PM

Yea i think it will be at about 300000 by the end of the year people will rush to buy it when they get here just because they'll be everywhere for a couple of weeks. And the fans of the old stuff that are going will want to be up to date with all the songs

Tomorrow night should see an increase in Australia for HTDAAB on the Aria charts...
I dont know if anyone else has seen anything like this, but today my friend went to a Big W in country South Australia and there was a huge display right inside the door of all the U2 albums and DVDs, the albums were all less than $15 and DVDs about $20. He then went to a Sanity store nearby and it was the same there, U2 everywhere, posters on the walls, album displays. The back catalogue should sell well this tour.
Anyone else noticed any such displays in their local record stores?

DignityPassesBy · 03-05-2006, 07:03 PM

edge3 · 03-07-2006, 04:03 PM

DignityPassesBy · 03-12-2006, 02:47 AM

edge3 · 03-12-2006, 03:40 AM

Holy Cow ! & i see that Bomb is now 4xPlat !

MJDangerous · 03-12-2006, 04:02 AM

In the DVD chart :

#2 Vertigo (4xP)
#3 Go Home (6xP)
#8 Best of 90-2000
#21 Pop (P)

Very impressive!

Tallarico · 03-12-2006, 04:23 AM

very good!!!!!

4 x plat = 280 k , right?

Do u think Bomb can arrive to 300k?

edge3 · 03-12-2006, 04:33 AM

Yes, 280k... i think at # 10 it would have sold 4-5k so i guess 300k is now quite possible !

DignityPassesBy · 03-12-2006, 04:40 AM

shit does that mean that pop is released as a dvd over here cause it says it new

No way they sold so much at only #10! At this position in France an album sold only 6-7k, Australian market is much lower than this one!

Well it apparantly sold around 2,300 last week at # 27...

During the Vertigo Tour in UK it was at # 33 with around 7,400 then it too inreased 16 spots to # 17 with sales of 19,563 - that's an increase of 164%. So why not a similar situation in Australia ? Seems reasonable to me.

Also, it seems that, on a per capita basis, the Australian market is actually quite a bit bigger than French market. I mean 280k = 840k in French terms & Bomb has actually charted better in France ! (but with sales of 'just' 450k).

Great result.

It will be interesting to see what will happen next week due to the postponement of the tour.
