How come Lil wayne managed 1M sales in first week. he must have had a bigger first single than flo rida? flo rida is a talentless joke, without being unkind to the guy.
Magnificent needs to jump back into the top 100 on downloads to be a true hit I think, otherwise it's just radio playing it and no one wanting to download it. Getting back up on downloads would be a huge boost for it
Believe, thanks very much for the airplay charts!
Magnificent with the last update (today) is still climbing, and this is the most important thing to help the sales and the chart position. Now I hope they realize a great video as soon as possible to give the song another boost!
After dropping out for a while, Magnificent is back in the top rock downloads chart on iTunes currently at #78. This is a good sign and means the downloads for the song are definitely increasing.
Agree.
Only hope is that there is maybe a new album coming out, and they're holding material for it.
Of course, we always think this, and turns out to be false.
Pretty disappointing track list.
Just don't get U2 sometimes. They want to be relevant, but they're methods on singles and single releases seems to be very lackluster. I prefer they're not in the public eye ALL THE TIME, but come on. Promote these songs!!!
I don't understand the strategy. Last week of March Magnificient was megahit on the biggest Dutch radio channel which means they play teh song every hour. That was great. now it is waiting till May for the official single release!!! Why? The song will be dead by then. and then probably some more weeks before the video is there....? I don't ge it. Bring it out! Promote it!
And where is some new material? We had an alternative version of NLOTH, and that's it! The new material is really lacking.
Magnificent's downloads have again dropped in the US, it's down to U2's third most downloaded tracks after Beautiful Day and Vertigo. It's also only selling marginally better than the other songs on NLOTH. Nearly every track on NLOTH is selling about half what Beautiful Day does, with Magnificent selling about 70% of what Beautiful Day is
I wonder how up to date this is because Magnificent is still ranked in the top 100 downloaded rock songs and Vertigo is not...
That's strange, naturally I'm hoping what you have is right and what I have isn't
As someone already stated, perhaps they still haven't decided what tracks to put on "Songs of Ascent" and they don't want to waste any potential album tracks as b-sides.
However, talk of a second album has really died down, and I'm really starting to think it was just the usual Bono album-release bluster.
The tracklisting of the GOYB CD single kept changing right up until the last minute, so maybe we will get something different before it's all said and done.
