Ireland - Bomb at 21 (19)

Mike

[fitz]

still good !

[Irishteen]

Its still holding well.

[edge3]

UK - not so good : City drops off but let's not forget that 9 weeks in the top 75 (top 60 in fact) is unprecedented for a 3rd single off a U2 album. Bomb just stays in :

Bomb : # 73 (# 66) - total estimated UK sales now = 1,178,000

[ybird3k]

looks like its out of the top 75 next week then, but nearly 1.2M is great.

hopefully OOTS will be out soon and start getting some airplay, to get bomb back up the charts.

[jimmmm]

i fear bomb is about to disappear

Hello,

In the Netherlands the album drops out of the top 10 again. Still, with a #11 position after 38 weeks, the album is still doing excellent.
Here's the full chart run of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (27-11-2004)
1-1-2-3-4-4-5-6-7-8
6-1-1-3-6-4-8-10-11-14
17-17-24-28-23-30-32-38-34-28
16-14-9-5-4-6-8-11

The COBL single is also still charting. In its 9th week it drops a spot to #31 in the Mega Top 50. Here's its full chart run.
City Of Blinding Lights (25-6-2005):
2-3-5-8-11-16-21-30-31

I don't follow the Top 40 chart that much (as it's based a bit too much on airplay to my liking), but there the song drops from #9 to #15. I have no chart run for this chart.

Good figures.

[edge3]

Yep, still good figures from Hit List - let's hope Bomb can soon get to 9xPlatinum (9M) on their chart :

44,000 (w.32) + 51,600 (w.33) + 59,500 (w.34) + 62,500 (w.35) + 57,100 (w.36) + 66,400 (w.37) + 64,300 (w.38) = 8,361,400 (total absolute minimum that should have been sold whilst on Hit List chart)

I think that's a good result. It's a conformation that last weeks result must have a reason and that it was not only a push for one week. I hope that it can do as good over the next weeks.

[edge3]

yeah i guess that's pretty good despite the 1 % drop

thx 4 the figures Soldatti

That 1% drop was a mere 77 copies!!! In other words, the drop is negligible.

While it's nice the album held, I wish it was holding a little higher on the chart than in the 150-170 region. But at least it's still in the Top 200. It looked like it was going to fall out after Week 36, which would have made it's time in the Top 200 not that much longer than that of "Pop" - despite the difference in total sales.

Hopefully the return of the tour coupled with a hit song that TRULY is a HIT song this time (hint to U2's marketing team!), will push the album back up the charts.
