U2 held relative position excluding the two new entries...let's wait for the "all time chart" update to see sales figures for this week
VIDEO CORRECTION...
VH-1'S website is not always current, and it did get updated today. It appears that last week, neither Vertigo or ABOY was in their TOP 20 weekly video countdown.
This week, in addition to the ABOY success on MTV & mtv2, the video also debuts at #11 on VH-1's weekly countdown. Vertigo spent a while at #1 at VH-1, but it slowly moved up the charts.
Vertigo had already peaked (and started dropping) on the Modern Rock Chart when it peaked on the Video scene, which I believe helped Vertigo on the other chart formats, like the Mainstream Rock and Adult Top 40 Charts. I hope this song gets to the top of some chart soon and then carries that momentum to become a crossover hit.

big bands don't make money on records anymore nowadays...they make money on concerts: so i'd rather look at the album as a promo for the tour.

Hello,
I don't have a real introduction this time. You know, sometimes there really isn't much to say (although you wouldn't guess that if you were looking at my post count
). As you know, the charts are compiled by the Mega Charts (http://www.megacharts.nl), with the single sales only chart being published by Top 40 Web (http://www.top40web.nl).
As I indicated in the introduction, nothing much to say I guess, just the same as all the rest. Another week on the Dutch chart and another drop of one position. This was due to one new entry just above U2, with Push The Button by The Chemical Brothers debuting at #7.
Here is the chart run for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (27-11-2004)
1-1-2-3-4-4-5-6-7-8
So last week I finally found a site that has sales-only figures for singles on the Dutch chart. I could look up Vertigo's performance on it. Well, that was also the final week I could do it, as the single has now dropped out of the top 40 part of that chart. I know that the actual chart is a top 100, but I haven't found the full chart yet. Considering that little over a week ago I didn't know even part of it was published at all, I'm already happy to have the top 40 positions.
Last week I also noticed that Vertigo's longlevity in the regular chart was mainly due to its airplay (considering the difference of 15 positions of both charts). It seems that airplay has decreased significantly, as the single now drops 15 positions to #39. Luckily, Sometimes You Can't... will be released next week, so all attention can be focused on that song.

The chart fun for Vertigo on the sales-only chart (13-11-2004):
2-3-5-12-14-20-23-25-23-31
39-out of the top 40
The one week difference is due to the fact that the sales-only chart was published between Christmas and New Year, while the regular chart wasn't (they had their end-of-year chart).
The current #1 album is Greatest Hits by Robbie Williams. After an absence of 12 weeks, his album returns to the top again for its 4th week. The current #1 single still is Als Je Iets Kan Doen by Artiesten Voor Azië, a charity single for the victims of the tsunami.
C ya!

U2 has a 25% royalty rate for all their albums so they do make significant amount of money from the sale of their albums and the album is still the centerpiece of the campaign with the tour designed to push it over the 10 million mark and beyond.

This is good news, only a small drop from last week of about 1,500 copies. Two more good weeks like this and I think and hope the Grammy's will spark a rise that will continue through March, the Hall OF Fame and then the start of the tour.
BIG NEWS ON THE SINGLES CHART:
Billboard included Digital Sales on the Billboard Hot 100 and many artists have BIG JUMPS this week, including U2: Vertigo is #44 (#61 last week) and we have 18 NEW ENTRIES on the Hot 100.
Sadly this change is a bit late for Vertigo but from now on I see great chances for better chart positions.
The other important news is that All Because Of You topped the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and will debut on the main chart next week, that's sure.

Good!! 
I think Miracle Drug would be a Top 40 on Hot100 thanks to digital sales

Did Billboard include only the digital sales of the last week or did they consider the complete digital sales for the past weeks?
WHYWHY
Acrobat
it would only be for last week. they wouldn't be able to factor in all the digital sales for every single of the past number of weeks (however long vertigo has been out) and try and represent it in one week.... that just wouldn't make sense.

You're totally right! Vertigo dropped from 8 to 15 in the Dutch Airplay Top 50. (SYCMIOYO is increasing airplay: from 32 to 21!)

Ok, you're right wih U2. They have a high royalty and I think they're an exception in the music business. For most artists touring will make much more money. But still...
I don't know how much you have to pay for an album in the US, but 25% royalty means for Europe: 4 euro. So let's say 5 dollar an album. Let's say 10 million albums at the end of the year. that will make 50,000,000 dollar. I'm sure that the tour will gain much more money.
