Australia : Bomb at #46 (#40) - with 4 new entries ahead

 

[Tallarico]

Edge3,do you think that in Australia they can improve the Bomb's result with an eventual tour in 2006?

 

[edge3]

Yes, but they still need to keep promotion high through 2005 - like releasing COBL soon.

 

[edge3]

At last!! 'the bomb' stops falling 6 spots in UK :

#60 (#58)

Probably sold about 3000-4000 copies = 1064000 (est.) overall

HTDAAB 17 (17), with four "heavy" new entries in the high places (the Boss, N. Imbruglia e two well-knows italian bands: Subsonica e Modena City Ramblers).

Best 90/00 re-entries at 95.

Yes, the bomb is holding up very well Italy - do you know how many it's sold?

France : #59 (#40) - Ouch!!
...but 'sometimes' re-enters at #60 - so not too bad overall.

 

[VALE69]

Wow! So bomb should now be 4-5xPlat in Italy & it's sold about 100K more in Italy than in France. That's pretty impressive.

Thanks for the info.

Back in the Top 40 in New Zealand: #38

New Zealand might be a small country but that's an impressive return for 'the bomb' - well worth an applause I think

U2's popularity in Italy in very strong. Even if the music market here is'not as in GB or in USA, U2 sell a lot of copies for every disc. Of course, there aren't peaks like the million for the bomb or the two millions for JT in GB, but, regularly, about 400.000 or 500.000 copies for every disc (except B90/00 that has sold 300.000 copies).
For example, Pop (the less succesful since 1987) has sold, anyway 400.000 copies, Achtung Baby about 600.000 (at the end of 1992).
U2 are the only intenational band or artist that makes so in the last 20's: not Madonna, not the Boss, not (fortunately) the boybands.
Only italian artists like Eros Ramazzotti (good thing if you don't know him) or Vasco Rossi do this and no one other.

Now I see how U2 managed to sell 150,000 tickets to Popmart Reggio Emilia.

And don't forget that was the official attendance...actually, the real number was probably about 165 - 170 thousand people (I was there...fantastic, belive me!).
And two days before, in Rome, there were another 70,000 people screaming and singing.
This year, another three sellout gigs in the stadiums in july, in Milano (two) and in Rome.
Good thing.

Not TOO bad overall - I kind of expected the Bomb to fall a bit, although not as much as 4 spots. I didn't expect Sometimes to en-enter. I guess that's mainly cos of re-entry at #60 in France.
