[Irishteen]

I know but is there a reason for the chart rise

 

[Zoovation]

Do you think that the two performances for the Benefit Concert will have a big effect on sales?

Do you think that the two performances for the Benefit Concert will have a big effect on sales?

no

 

[Irishteen]

It might be enough to get the album back in the top 200 at most, then the tour might keep it there for a while

 

[edge3]

TV airplay chart in the UK : All Because Of You this week debuts at # 21...i think that's pretty good.

So, it seems that Bomb will rise in the European Billboard Charts a few places!

 

[fedeu2]

Yes and hopefully a similar trend will be seen on the Billboard charts. I´m sure sales in Canada will significantly increase due to the shows in Toronto although maybe we wont see the full effect until next week.

Now if only they released a new single in North America ....
Can´t believe they are not going to do anything else (besides the tour that is) to help album sales in the US.

[Zoovation]

Very good to see the bomb rising in some European countries. It was falling week after week since the end of Leg 2 in Europe. I don't know what's the reason for that (maybe ABOY altough I don't think so) but it's great because I didn't expect that. Good sign for the future.

 

[VALE69]

In Canada HTDAAB re-entries in the top 100, climbing from 110 to 94.

Good!

...& single sales also got a good bump in Canada :

ABOY # 5 (# 10)
COBL # 6 (# 5)
Sometimes # 7 (# 16)

 

[VALE69]

Any news about chart positions in UK and USA?
Thanks!

COBL finally shows up on BB

Still no Bomb in the Top 200 Albums from BB, but COBL debuts at #40 on the Adult Top 40. This is good, I guess, but now I wonder if all we'll get in N.A. this fall is COBL part dos. Oh well, good to see that all four singles showed up on BB somewhere.

After the tour hits the U.S. for a few weeks, I expect that we'll see HTDAAB and COBL charting on BB. As for the Adult Top 40 debut, it almost appears that BB is now including Triple A radio in this format, as "Hot AC" radio had let COBL slide off the radar.

European Top 100 albums to come soon.

 

[ybird3k]

ABOY added to the 'radio1 C-list' today, later than i ws expecting, but it's got 3.5 weeks before release, so hopefully bomb will be moving back up the charts here now.

 

[STING2]

New Mediatraffic results are in and of course BOMB is still out of the top 40. The Stones came in at #1 with 396,000 copies sold worldwide in their opening week. About 1/3 of that figure comes from the United States which shows a very good even spread around the world in terms of global sales.

With sales of 173,000 this week, Coldplay's X&Y has now cleared the 6 million mark at mediatraffic.

Not yet...

So, it seems that Bomb will rise in the European Billboard Charts a few places!

The Top 100 album chart has been updated for Europe, and U2's Bomb slips 4 spots to 57 this week. There is no sign of ABOY on the Top 100 Europe Singles yet, so maybe we'll see the effect next week.
