How do they know the "exact figure" when SoundScan doesn't count numbers from every merchant?
Its the exact figure of what soundscan DOES count. Its over 95% of the market.

NLOTH #1 in Slovenia in the first full week.
NLOTH was sixth in the first week, but it was in stores for 3 days and only available in a few stores.
Better than expected first week numbers, but I still think this album will not outsell even POP in the US. There will be a significant 2nd week drop, and the album will take all year to make it to one million sold. Grammys next year will then give U2 another few hundred thousand units sold, and then that's that. But at least they'll walk away with another armful of grammy awards.
I thought the chart position in Japan was 4 ? Mike
