ATYCLB in the UK Yes, it did reach triple platinum, and has sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone. I estimate (because copies in the UK for this CD are numbered) they are very near 4 x platinum - as the versions in stores are numbered between 1,200,000 - 1,330,000. Best Of 90-2000 - is...

Solar... what an awful cover ! Mike::scream:

get real This is a joke - right ? a fillersong ? That award goes to When I Look At The World - Stuck is as overlooked as I Still Haven't is - although I agree the former had two dodgy videos - an area the boys can improve on. Mike

Mrs Edge Jess My hard drive packed up - so I lost everything, including your e-mail address !!! Drop us a line Thanks Mike (number uno fan)

boo hoo Okay, so I can't make it this time - what a b*mmer ! A real shame to miss you all, esp the chance to meet my (beautiful) friend Mrs Edge ! That said I WILL get across `the pond' this year, and who knows who I might meet then. ALL - have a fab time ! Mike :wave:

maybe Maybe I will make it, all the way from the UK ? Just need to juggle work, house move & $$$??? Mike

Week 12 In the World Chart Best Of falls to 15 - now needs a publicity push from Hands. Bastian - the link is www.mediatraffic.de/albums In Ireland it falls just one place to 8 Mike

In week 11 U2 drops to No 10 on the World Album Chart - still a pretty good performance ! Mike

Europe A bit late I know, esp as I have already posted the Week 10 placing on the World Chart, but Best Of is at No5 on the European Chart for Week 9. Mike

Best Of drops one place to No 9 in the World Chart - still a pretty good performance considering the competition. it will be interesting to sewe if Hands provides any new sales impetus ? Mike PS in Ireland it rises one place to No 5

More Even if we do compare The Stones & Nirvana to U2 - on a worldwide sales basis U2 has still outsold both of these in 2002 - lets not get hung up with just US sales !". In terms of `old school' artists then only Elvis did better last year - his comiplation of No 1s selling over 8 million...

Europe & World positions Add to the above: World Chart - 8 Europe Chart - 5 Mike

World Chart and in the World Chart the Best Of is at number 8 this week - pretty good going and no doubt helped by its position in the European chart. Mike

5 million sales =commercial failure ? I don't often agree with J, but in respect of the US Sales (rather than copies shipped) of Best Of 90-2000 , he has a point. But we should not only look at US Sales. Music Week (UK bible on sales) reports that Best Of has `sold' 5 million copies worldwide...

No 5 in Europe For w/c 4/1/03 Best Of 90-200 is at number 5 on the European chart. Mike
