Yes. The top 3 albums were able to send three songs to the final, then I believe two more albums were able to send two songs, and then the rest was one song each.

Don't like this result, but ah well, you can't win them all....
Alright, well, here's a proposal, based on the assumption the new album's coming in the fourth quarter of this year.
Once the hype about the album has time to die down, we'll begin a U2 Album Survivor in January 2009. The outcome there will determine the weightings for Song Survivor, which would follow immediately.
The top three albums would send four songs. Next three send three. Next three send two. Final three send one.
As for the non-album sections, the current distribution will remain (unless we come up with a better one beforehand) and each of the six will send through one song.
So that will result in 36 songs. Two preliminary finals of 18 songs each. Bottom three from each are kicked out. Maybe we could keep going further, to avoid a mass of 30 songs in the final. Say have just 10 left of the original 18 in the two groupings. Then put them together in a final of 20 and go from there.

I would say top four albums send 4, next four send 3, and the last four send 2. That would make 36. Add 2 b-side/non-album singles from 80s, 90s, and 00s. That makes 42 the total. And everyone knows 42 is the answer to life.

Ah, yes, that would be better. Especially as I'd like more than just Gloria to go through from October. Given its strong showing this time around, Rejoice could possibly even knock off Tomorrow for a second spot.
