Week 32

Ireland

Bomb 4 (5)

perhaps surprising it's not higher following 3 concerts in Dublin - but of course it's already sold loads there (10 x platinum ?)

WOW!!!!!!

So that's 11 albums on the top 75, 4 in the top 20, 3 singles in the top 50 & 3 DVD's in the top 10 with Go Home at # 1.

AMAZING!!

Irishteen · 07-02-2005, 03:43 AM

Brillant result from Ireland, wow, the Joshua tree can still get back to number 1.

edge3 · 07-02-2005, 08:37 AM

I'll eat my shorts if JT goes back to # 1 - Bomb maybe, but not JT.

...anyway I've just been watching Live8 & I just thought I should say that U2 were awesome & it was great to see that Bono really seemed to get the point across.

ps - In UK Bomb is now up to # 4 on the new ASDA supermarket album chart & -

U2 : Go Home DVD is now 5xPlatinum in Australia - that means 75,000 units now shipped to retailers.

It seems every single tanks on the UK sales chart...so wouldn't airplay be more important after the initial buzz of having a "number 1", or two, single wears off?

COBL has been at #2 on the airplay chart now for 3 weeks in a row. Speed of Sound jumped from 3 to 1, again, to keep COBL out of the top spot, but #2 for 3 weeks is still good. Is the COBL airplay helping albums sales, too?

ybird3k · 07-03-2005, 07:56 AM

Airplay is definately more important than the singles chart. ye it is good hype to get a #1 singles, or into the top 5. but singles peak in their first week, and then fall so fast. i think its a better success to do well on airplay, because everyone is hearing the songs, although no one knows / or cares about which songs are the most played.

I want to see Airplay combined into the UK top 40, the way it is in the BB Hot 100

The U.K. is one of the few countries (if not the only country) that has strong CD single sales. As such, their CD singles sales chart is important.

However, the airplay chart is just as important. Sales peak and fall. Unless it's a monster hit, usually most songs don't linger long in the top 10 on the U.K. sales chart. Therefore, using that chart as their main indication of a song's success isn't appropriate.

The U.K. should have a Billboard type of chart that combines sales and airplay. With the two combined, CoBL might have even hit #1 that first week. If nothing else, it certainly would have lingered longer in the Top 40. Plus, a combined chart really shows the success of a song. After all, for a song to be #2 on the airplay chart for 3 weeks strongly shows that it is in demand. As it's the third single from an album, it's not surprising that sales would drop off quickly - people already have the album version of the song, so no need to buy the CD single.

But, alas, the U.K. doesn't have a combined chart. So for now, we need to examine both charts separately.

ybird3k · 07-03-2005, 08:48 AM

if the charts were combined, COBL would have definately been a #1, it was up against the crazy frog which recieved NO airplay whatsoever. and still at #2 in the airplay chart, this would be enough to keep it in the top 40 of a combined chart, even if NO COBL singles were sold.

the amount of U2 airplay in the UK is amazing.
