Week 35

[phommel]

Netherlands:

20 (-) The Unforgettable Fire, 25th anniversary edition.
75 (73) No Line On The Horizon

 

[rollingbob]

#20 is v.impressive for TUF i think, in Ireland 'only' #30...

& Italy :

39 (n/re) The Unforgettable Fire
75 (81) NLOTH

In comparison TJT re-issue entered at #58 & War, Boy, October at #'s 31, 35, 36 respectively.

 

[rollingbob]

& UK :

64 (n/re) The Unforgettable Fire on about 3.5k
18 Singles out of T.100
NLOTH probably still out of T.200

In comparison TJT re-issue entered at #51 on ~14.5k (only 5 wks from Xmas) & Boy, War, October at #'s 76, 77, 79 respectively each on ~1.95k.

The first TUF re-issue entered at #38 in June 1992.

 

[rollingbob]

3,780 copies sold for TUF re-issue in UK this week, also :

107 (91) 18 Singles on ~2k (total now ~906k)

So the webcast didn't really help that much.

Wow, I was not expecting it to drop. The Christmas season is more competitive though, so that could explain some of the drop.

It will be interesting to learn the sales levels of both NLOTH and UF this week.

 

[doctorwho]

I am also surprised by the drop. I felt the webcast and performing in front of nearly 100,000 people would give the album a boost. If there was a boost, it may have been with illegal downloads.

I feel bad for new artists. U2 can endure a "low" selling album. It is still one of the best selling albums of the year in the U.S. and worldwide. However, a new artist hoping for that Platinum album might not have that success.

Hopefully a Christmas boost will occur. Right now, I think it is way too early for any Christmas or holiday effect. If it kicks in, it will be closer to Thanksgiving (in the U.S.).

I'm sorry... But it's been, what? 4weeks with that same number? Something is wrong, no??

I'm sorry... But it's been, what? 4weeks with that same number? Something is wrong, no??

I can only add the sales figures each week that I can see. If the album is not in the mediatraffic top 40, then there is no posted sales figure to add. NLOTH has not been in the top 40 for several weeks now. Mediatraffic does keep track of albums that drop below their top 40 and many speculate and there are some list out there that show its at about 3.5 million now, but we can't confirm that until the year end list is posted by Mediatraffic in January.
