nice surprise...Bomb should now stay on mediatraffic top 40 tomarrow...if only the same thing was happening in the US though.

[edge3]

Belgium :

Flanders : # 14 (# 16)
Wallonie : # 23 (# 20)

So overall still about # 18

im surprised to see bomb only at #94 in canada, considering the success from Vertigo, ABOY, Sometimes and COBL there. the singles have had huge sucess unlike in the US, but the album still isnt in a great position in canada. (though twice as good as the US), i just thought the hit singles would have helped more.

it seems to me that in the US a hit single makes an album have long term success, but in other countries singles quickly move albums up the charts then they quickly fall again.

But the airplay chart is the best indicator of a singles popularity esp. in Canada where the sales chart means v.little - & COBL has only reached # 34 on airplay. Compare that to the UK where COBL was # 2 on the airplay chart for 3 straight weeks & it's still in the top 25.

Unfortunately U2 just aren't getting enough airplay in N.America.

Wow...highest position for 10 weeks - excellent!! I guess Bomb must have sold about 38,000...so total estimated mediatraffic sales now :

7,802,000 + 37,000 (w.33) + 38,000 (w.34) + 40,000 (w.35) + 38,000 (w.36) = 7,955,000

The number 29 album sold 61k, number 32 sold 60k and 33 sold 57k. I know mediatraffic also take into account the number of countries an album is charting in (although not clear what weighting they give that) but given these figures 38k looks low.

If that's true, HTDAAB has been selling more like 60K the last few weeks, not just 38-45K. And that, correspondingly, means that total sales are now over 8M worldwide.

[ybird3k]

id say that total sales, (not media traffic), are well over 9M

It is true that those 3 albums sold that many BUT mediatraffic use points as well as sales to determine their weekly top 40 chart : the more countries an album is charting in then the more points it has & HTDAAB is charting in countries all over the world whilst those 3 albums have only just debuted on the US & Japan charts only.

As for Bomb's total sales...well, Mediatraffic told me that they cover ‘nearly 95%’ of total album sales which, if true, would mean that Bomb has now sold around 8.5M (as it's now sold around 7.955M at mediatraffic).

Personally though I think that mediatraffic cover more like 90% of total album sales - maybe even as low as 85%...which means that Bomb has now sold 8.8-9.2M worldwide.

[ChangeTheTemperature]

According to this:

http://www.geocities.com/inthitlists/albums.htm

It sold 62,500 last week.

I agree with you edge3, sales (to consumers) of bomb should be at 9 million now. I still don´t rule out the possibility for the album to hit the 10 million mark by the end of 2005, at least in terms of shifted copies.
However, for this to happen, worlwide sales will have to remain steady around 30-40 K a week. It is clear the album needs to gain momentum in the States again.

Go bomb!

City of Blinding Lights was not in this week's Billboard Hot Video Clips........last week it premiered on the chart at #24.........so less video airplay does not bode well for an increase in radioplay.......I guess we can finally right the single off as dead.

Bring on "Original"!
