In Week 26 thread Zoovation reported that it was 9xPlatinum so it's sold about 135,000 in Ireland (maybe a bit more maybe a bit less).

if that was week 26, and the chart positions its had since, it must be 10xplatinum by now?

Maybe, but that depends - eg it might only have sold 128,000 when it was certified 9xPlatinum in which case it probably HAS sold 135,000 by now.

...actually, I would think it's probably sold about 140-145,000 by now in Ireland - that's about 5-10,000 away from 10xPlatinum.

Poland (could be last week, i'm not too sure - chart is dated 11th July) :

Bomb : # 32 (RE) - still certified Gold (20,000).
Joshua Tree : # 46 (NEW) - strange but, apparantly, an official album chart didn't start, in Poland, untill 1995.

Thx for the link Tallarico...

...well that's good for City, bad for Bomb (I really thought it would at least stay in top 30).

No not good, seems like Live8 might have actually had the opposite effect & REDUCED sales of the Bomb!!

Will be interesting to see how JT & 2 Best Of's have fared...

I should just point out that I'm not too sure about this certification 'cos I think Bomb was actually certified Platinum (100,000) in Poland ages ago. Also, I think Gold is 50,000 not 20,000.

can't believe those chart positions, especially as some of the artists who performed at live8 have had massive increases in sales

The summer discounting / sale of other albums won't have helped but I guess that's a pretty lame excuse.

Re-Entry for COBL in the UK top 40. the first time ever for a U2 single.

Can't say im surprised at HTDAAB though, the tour effect will soon be over, and it will fall quickly now. Live 8 obviosuly didnt help much / at all!

Well, the results are in & it seems that Live8 HAS had a positive effect afterall - maybe not for Bomb but JT & BO 80-90 stay well in & Vertigo & BO 90-00 re-enter - awesome!!

Here's the full UK top 75 results :

Albums -
Bomb : # 34 (# 25)
JT : # 59 (# 56)
BO 80-90 : # 63 (# 65)
BO 90-00 : # 64 (RE)

Singles -
COBL : # 37 (# 43)
Vertigo : # 71 (RE)

DVD's -
Go Home : # 5 (# 5)
R&H : # 19 (# 19)

Airplay -
COBL : # 12 (# 9)

So, the main problem for HTDAAB seems to be that it's competing against such a vast & impressive back catalogue!

A good week after Live8, and the recent shows in the UK, but with little in the way of promotion now, I do fear Bomb won't stay around for too much longer, remember before COBL, and the tour, it fell to 72,or 73
