NLOTH is U2's Seventh Number 1 in the US!!!

[last unicorn]

The album is also number 1 in my country and in Germany. It entered the charts at number 1. That's great.

I know this is kinda off-topic, but after looking at the chart history I was wondering: on what format was Jesus Christ released?

Was it a single from that Folkways album?

Yes.

But I think it's also on iTunes now if you want a copy.

There's one big error on that Billboard history chart. Unless I missed it, the chart fails to list "Hold Me...Kill Me" on the Billboard Hot 100 - where it peaked at #16 (one of U2's bigger hits).

thought this was interesting - it's U2's Billboard chart history - puts it into a bit of perspective

Billboard categorized "Beautiful Day" as part of the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. "Lemon" and "Discotheque" I can agree with, but "Beautiful Day"?

There was a remixed version of "Beautiful Day" that was played on Top 40 stations.

How was 'I Will Follow' charting in 1984? Soundtrack?

Sweet! Any album with Moment of Surrender on it deserves the #1 spot!

Congratz to U2, hitting #1 with a less 'pop' but more experimental rock sound will serve us fans well methinks!

I think this is the live version from UABRS.

Didn't they re-release it as a single?

I think it was the UABRS version as previously mentioned: http://www.u2wanderer.org/disco/sing014.html

In Sweden this band is on number one and U2 on number two

This realy says it all about what illegal downloading does, Sweden is biggest in illegal downloading in % per inhabitants. The people who would nuy U2 download it instead, the only people who don't download is the old people and this band on number one is what they buy...

Actually, I think that says more about Sweden, then it does about illegal downloading.

I think it was the UABRS version as previously mentioned: ..:: U2 Discography - I Will Follow Live (1983) Single / U2 - U2Wanderer.Org ::..

Makes sense...
