Believe is the man for this and i'm sure he'l let us know tomorrow

Bomb has a sales increase and rises one spot (with 2 new entries ahead of it) to 28 this week at mediatraffic.

With the European leg of the tour now over sales of Bomb really need to increase in Canada & the US for it to remain on the world chart over the next couple of months.

City - falls to 25 (21)

Mike

That's really good.

edge3 · 08-19-2005, 03:37 AM

Yeah, fantastic result from mediatraffic...# 28 is now the Bomb's highest position for 13 weeks!!!!

Overall artist album sales at mediatraffic were the lowest for 20 weeks so i guess the increase for Bomb, from last week, was small...let's say 1,000. So i estimate sales of 41,000 this week at mediatraffic. Bomb's overall sales at mediatraffic are now either v.close to or just over 8.1 million, which i think is excellent :

7,802,000 + 37,000 (w.33) + 38,000 (w.34) + 44,000 (w.35) + 42,000 (w.36) + 41,000 (w.37) + 40,000 (w.38) + 41,000 (w.39) = 8,085,000

Zoovation · 08-19-2005, 04:05 AM

I think that it will be very difficult to hold this position next week. The bomb will fall in some european countries and it's not sure how the sales will be in the US.

ybird3k · 08-19-2005, 04:47 AM

great result this week, i think maybe it will drop a place or 2 next week though. hopefully the tour will help US sales for the next few months, but Europe needs the next single now the tours gone to get bomb back up the charts.

As Soldatti said, HTDAAB re-enters the Top 25 Internet Albums Sales chart on BB:

TW LW 2W Weeks on chart Artist Album
14 - - 27 U2, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb 3 Interscope

Best of 1980-90 drops from 28 to 40 on Pop Catalog Top 50

BB's Eurochart for the Top 100 albums in Europe has been updated:

HTDAAB slips from 13 to 21
B/O 1980-90 slips to 83
B/O 1990-00 slips to 100

As for the Eurochart Top 100 singles, COBL drops from 45 to 98

COBL does not show up on BB. In terms of radio play, it continues to bounce around in the Top 10 on Triple A, now in it's 4th attempt to climb up with a rise from 9 to 6 from yesterday to today.

COBL is still listed in the "taking off" chart for Hot AC, but it has a long way to go to crack the Top 20. Sometimes is the #1 recurrent airplay on Triple A per Radio and Records, which would put it at #23 on the Triple A Top 40

Triple A Most Played Recurrents
Artist Title (Label) Plays
U2 Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (Interscope) 153

COBL will not break through to mainstream radio. It's time for another single in the U.S. before the tour starts, which I guess won't happen. COBL might get a bump on a few radio formats from the tour, but they really need something new.

Zoovation · 08-19-2005, 06:58 AM

How is it possible that the bomb slips from 13 to 21 in Europe and has a strong result in the World Charts? The result in the US wasn't better than last week.

Soldatti · 08-19-2005, 07:57 AM

Thanks Believe.

PS: Do you know how is working the new Stones single on the Billboard rock chart?

3 things :

- it's slipped 8 spots in Europe (

) but this dosen't necesarily mean it sold less or got less points (on mediatraffic chart).

- in the US Bomb actually rose 6 spots this week so it probably got more points & sales were only 1 % less than last week.

- Bomb may have also simply performed better in ROW this week (eg Japan, Australia, S.America etc).

edge3 · 08-19-2005, 08:14 AM

Denmark :

Bomb : # 4 (# 1) - damn! i wish it stayed at # 1
BO 90-00 : # 33 (# 7)
City : # 14 (# 23)

Germany :

Bomb : # 49 (# 44)
City : # 81 (# 74)

Zoovation · 08-19-2005, 08:55 AM

It's probably again the point system of mediatraffic.

ybird3k · 08-19-2005, 09:33 AM

but doesnt the blue arrow on MT mean a sales increase not a points increase?

Yes

...IMO there was, at the very least, a v.small decrease in sales in Europe & US this week - so the increase may well have come from the ROW.

Btw - i believe the European album chart is based only on points (not sales).

i cant wait till Bigger Bang comes out so we can compare and contrast these rock pioneers.

I don't think that 'A Bigger Bang' will have a chance against the bomb...RS aren't the bigsellers they were a long time ago.
