Stormin' to the Top Spot - U2 Song Is Tip for No1
By Paul Martin
U2 are set to cook up a storm by landing their biggest ever hit around the world. After 20 years at the top, their new single Electrical Storm is expected to become their most successful yet.
The rockers don't even release the track until next month but already radio stations around the world are going crazy for Bono's latest offering. Radio stations in Australia, Japan and America have been playing it around the clock and advance orders of the single have reached record levels.
A source close to the group said: "This is going to be their biggest hit and it's really surprising Bono.
"He just put it out there to see what the reaction was like after being out of the music business for nearly a year. Nobody expected it to become a worldwide hit before it is even officially released."
Secret music industry figures show that the song will go straight to No1 when it is released on October 21. It marks an amazing return to the top for U2 who took a long break after their record-breaking Elevations world tour last year.
Bono revealed the secret of Electrical Storm's success and said: "It's about a couple in a room, feeling a storm brewing in the sky outside and equating that to the pressure they feel in their relationship.
"I think it captures a sense of unease around the world, especially in America - an air of nervous anticipation.
"It's not an overtly political song but I don't think we could have written it before what happened in New York."
Their biggest hit to date is the classic With or Without You.
The group will make only a few appearances to publicise the new song. The insider added: "They don't even need to shoot a video for this one if they don't want to."
Thank you, Michael Griffiths!!
