The Best Selling Artists of the 2000's in the UK, U2 were at number 18. They came out with the usual crap about Pop being their worst album and they had to get back to the 80's sound for ATYCLB, so they brought back Lilywhite to get them that hit single. That is exactly what they said and Lilywhite said that U2 use him to get hit singles. Think it goes to prove that U2 as a serious musical act are finished when all they are obsessed with is getting hit singles. And their past 2 albums prove that they are on the slide. It absolutely pisses me off when they say that the Pop album and era is their weakest album and that they alienated a lot of fans. This is absolute bollox! What it did was alienate part time fans who just like hit singles, the same people that U2 were trying to rid themselves of in the early 90's when Bono came out with the "we might lose a few pop kids, but we don't need them" speech. Oh well, the next album will be filled with hits no doubt, probably produced by Lilywhite and the Sugababes and maybe co-written by them as well!
