Week 9

[KUEFC09U2]

U2 currentley OUT of the top 40 in todays midweeks in the UK, so from the good news of moving up a place on sunday, to the bad news of possibly being out of the top 40 this coming sunday

 

[Irishteen]

Oh wow...this is awful...flop

Magnificent is at 291 on itunes...come on Magnificent save the bloody album already

 

[KUEFC09U2]

I wouldnt go as far as calling the album a flop, but it is definately dissapointing that it could be about to drop out of the top 40.

The Prodigy are going to outsell them in the end, their last album in 2004 only went gold...this album has done awful in the UK

i think youve summed it up quite well there with the prodigy. i dont understand how magnificent being in high radio play hasnt led to an increase in album sales. and its doing unbelieveably bad on iTunes.

I dont think we can say that people dont like U2 anymore in the UK - look at 18singles chart position, i expected it to re-enter top40 9certainly not top 20) but expetced it out of the top 100 within a week or two. at this rate it will be outselling NLOTH before long.

I think Magnificent/Breathe should help but if not, there is always the tour to boost the album for a few weeks. After that, its up to the album itself to hold ground...time will tell if in the end they outsell X or if X outsells them.

400,000 ticket sales sold out straight away here in UK don't think that says nobody likes u2 in the UK anymore!

 

[Tommy WM]

Album sales in general are going down...I wouldn't worry about it. It's U2 remember, the biggest and most sought after act in the world!

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Just seen a new ad for the album, featuring magnificent and get on your boots, its only the second ad i have EVER seen for this album,

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Todays midweeks and U2 are BACK into the top 40 in the UK at #36.

 

[tommolo]

uhm...i hereby see a consequence:
second tv advert and u2 album back in the top 40.
Maybe with a corageous THIRD advert we shall hope in the top 20?

 

[Irishteen]

Todays midweeks and U2 are BACK into the top 40 in the UK at #36.

Apparently no one buys U2 albums on Sundays and Mondays It was down at this time last week too

 

[monai2]

today u2 are 32 in uk mids chart,up 4 places from yesterday

 

[KUEFC09U2]

And if stays the same come sunday they will be UP 2 from last weeks 34!

 

[wolbersu2]

And again: Where is the official video for Magnificent???

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Well the single isnt actually out until monday, so i highly doubt we would see it before the release.

 

[Irishteen]

The album is climbing fast in the UK

 

[Native_Son]

global - holds at #6. impressive given there are 3 new entires above them.
sales however at a rather low 82,000

That's actually a precent small decrease from last week's 94,000. It's a 13% decrease when the week before brought a 23% decrease. I think it shows some leveling off and if things pick up when the single is released, we might even see album sales go UP for a couple weeks

 

[KUEFC09U2]

More great news from UK, up another 2 places to #30 on todays midweeks

 

[Irishteen]

Meh news in Ireland as the album falls to 16 in the charts, not great but not bad

 

[andyuk]

Magnificent remixes are No1 in the UK Club charts!

[Native_Son]

cheers, what remix is this?

 

[AdamThomasU2]

Working Friday and Saturday nights in a fast food chain, we have Radio One on which has given us a Magnificent Remix play every weekend, as well as up to 2 regular plays during the daytime, so I'm hearing it quite a bit on Radio One.

 

[Irishteen]

Magnificent is up to 125 on UK itunes, if it hits top 100 by tomorrow it might still have a chance

 

[allcub]

How long have the Magnificent EP/Single remixes etc been available on itunes? Just curious.

The Magnificent EP/Single becomes available tomorrow

Actually they're now available, they went onsale a few hours ago

 

[cjboog]

Magnificent is back into the top 100 Rock Songs on iTunes in the US @ #92

It's a good sign but who knows if it'll continue...the song appears to be peaking again on all the radio formats and it's begun to decline on the Alternative chart
