Vertigo - Debuted at #5 - thanks to iPod ad.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - Debuted at #19 - thanks to people being smart and realising that usually bands release more than one single of a CD.
City Of Blinding Lights - Debuted at #31 - I almost threw the computer at the wall when I heard that.
I see a trend.
THANKS FOR REACHING OUT TO YOUR FANS, U2! I mean, does it really take that much effort for managment to play a couple of promo ads and announce a tour? Where is Australia's U2 correspondant??!!
I am looking forward to the tour. I will be heartbroken if they don't come, and I don't know how much more of my heart they can break - my heart will never be the same - thanks to the moment I found out COBL debuted at #31.
Ummmm Explain to me....This iPod commercial on Australian TV?, I saw it once.....early December last year...and that was at like 2am.
I dont think that got Vertigo to #5......It was because U2 had made their 'Comeback'
Chart positons, I dont really think mean anything. If they didnt sell singles in the US, I'm sure they would still tour there.
COBL debuting at #31 means squat.....Other people's intrest in Music has changed (I still think COBL deserved a Top 10...)
And About the tour.....are you getting a feeling that they aren't coming?...we keep getting rumors, or pushed back because they started the tour on a delay and must play more and more shows for the US fans, which in a way, is fair in a business way.....You play and promote where the money is to be made. (I'm not saying that U2 are in it for the money)
I just wish they would bloody hurry up and officialy say they are coming.
Then they can add another thousand US dates, and Australian, New Zealand, South American and Mars fans can be happy that they got to see U2 in their country for once in their life time
(and what a bullshit post that sounds like
)
