[Zoovation]

Another good week for bomb in France:
HTDAAB 142 (144)

 

[VALE69]

Italy: bomb is out of top 100 for the third week in line.
These are difficult weeks: in the italian top 100 we have 33 greatest hits albums (without counting live albums); after christmas we could have some chance to find bomb in top 100 again!

Yes, great news again from the UK as Bomb stays & increases on the top 200 ! Plus the rest of the back catalogue also increases :

Albums :
Best of 80-90 # 167 (# 194) - sold about 2,500
Bomb # 186 (# 187) - sold about 2,200

Singles :
ABOY # 128 (# 129)

By my calculations Bomb is now at the 1,200,000 sales mark in the UK with 860,000 sold in 2004 + 340,000 sold so far in 2005.

Btw : at Amazon UK Bomb has been doing even better this week & is now up to # 152 - it's highest position for a loooooong time so hopefully we're gonna see a good increase next week.

 

[Tallarico]

go bomb go!!!!!!!

 

[edge3]

... actually my sales estimates are a bit too low : overall UK album sales increased by 20.5% last week so Bomb would have actually sold more like 2,400.

Best Of 80-90 would have done more like 2,700.

 

[edge3]

... actually overal UK artist album sales increased by 21.5% last week...

Germany (top 100 albums chart) :
Chicago DVD # 67 (# 49)

Spain :
ABOY # 3 (# 3)

 

[Tallarico]

do u think that the Bono's nomination for "person of the year" and the cover of TIME and the tv special on CNN on others of this artist could help the u2's catalogue?

 

[edge3]

Yes.

Btw : total official UK sales for Bomb in 2005 up to & incl. this week are 341,000
