I just have to past this post here from last Thursday... Well, I am stuck in a hospital room, and have been watching TV pretty much around the clock since the Grammies. Just about every news channel. I also have probably surfed the entire web. I was on that same roller coaster last night...it...

Well, I am stuck in a hospital room, and have been watching TV pretty much around the clock since the Grammies. Just about every news channel. I also have probably surfed the entire web. I was on that same roller coaster last night...it started off awesome, then I got sick of the...

It's true. It's already been on ESPN twice tonight. Do you really think people will get it? I am worried about this one.

Britney and Bono in a duet? There is no mention of that. Now you are being ridiculous.

This just off the presses at U2.com..."U2 has agreed to play 'Discotheque' at the Super bowl this year, and as a testament to their sense of humor, will actually be joined on stage with the Village People...an apparent nod to the video." In another surprise, sources close to the band confirm...

I'll take you up on it if there are any left. The Best Buy I went to didn't even have this. mvru2@yahoo.com

I guess if you are in a picture with your wife and daughter you cannot be considered "hot". At least my two girls seem happy, and that's all that matters.

I liked the album from day one because of the songs, the lyrics, the messages...all of it. It just seems very strange the way that U2's releases have coincided with certain phases of my life. Regardless of the long story, ATYCLB spoke to me directly with songs about loss, hope, perserverance...

I agree. I never was a big fan of the song until I saw it live at POPMART. Just like several songs on the POP album, HMTMKMKM sounded better in concert than in the studio, in my opinion. I know that song was not on POP, but it was from that era. Please, LNOE, Gone...I liked them all live.

I think they will do this. They always come out to the front and play several acoustic songs...I hope they drop Desire and add Stuck to this part of the concert.

Thank-you, doctor, for that link. Great reading. You posted a refreshing, engaging thread without even saying anything...now that's talent.

Stuck moved from 62 to 58 on the Hot 100 chart. It moved to 19 on the Adult Contemporary Charts with "Airpower" designation. It is already the 2nd biggest hit in the U.S. of off ATYCLB, as Walk On and Elevation spent brief time on the Modern Rock charts, but never cracked the Hot 100 chart...

I think you are probably right. In a way, it's kinda sad that a terrible tragedy causes an increase in sales. However, ATYCLB truly is an album for the soul. It's being played on the radio all the time here in East Tennessee...where I rarely heard Walk On or Elevation when they were released...

Tamin is a professor at a local college who wrote this letter to the local paper. I've deleted every e-mail I gotten regarding last week's events, because most of them make me sick. This perspective also sickens me, but it is because I am afraid he is right. ***Mir Tamim Ansary on...

World Charts have already been updated for September 15, and ATYCLB goes from 11 to 23. This makes sense with the 2nd leg ending. http://www.cnn.com/WorldBeat/top30/

The CNN Worldbeat Global Album chart has just been updated (Sept 8 edition). ATYCLB moves up to 11 from 13. They have passed Celebrity...which has been on the chart for 5 weeks now. It peaked at 9 and is now falling, coming in at 12 this week. U2's album has been out for 44 or 45 weeks now...

Well, I think that regardless of what any of us think, there is a backlash starting against U2 again. I don't really know how U2 could actually find middle ground, really. You either reach out and explore new ground, as they did with the 90's, or you hold back a bit and stick with what worked...

This chart is updated every two or three weeks. It states that ATYCLB rises from 15 to 13 on the Global Album Sales Chart. Thought it was 13 three weeks ago, but as the updates are sporadic, perhaps it went from 13-15-13. It has spent the last 4 weeks in the top 30, debuting at #25 after the...

Womanfish, I agree, I have been wondering about the Stuck video myself. It is critical in promoting the song. From what I've heard, it's certainly available for release. The only thing I can think of is that U2 is waiting for their MTV performance. They are nominated a number of times for...

Great to always see the chart info. Thanks Doctor. I'm glad you are back. Another interesting chart is the CNN WorldBeat Global album. http://www.cnn.com/WorldBeat/top30/ ATYCLB was at number one for a number of weeks after it's release, and then it slid off of the charts rather quickly...

SG, It is a great song. One more lyric conflict, though. To me it sounds like Bono says "I'm going to the obvious place, the soul needs beauty for a soulmate." Who knows for sure.

Cathy, Yeah, that part of the song I can't quite make out. Those lyrics came from another U2 site that claims to have "official" lyrics. However, there are plenty of "official" lyrics that don't really sound right when you hear the song. Bono has a habit of scat singing, or...

Here today, gone tomorrow Crack the bone, get to the marrow To be the bee and the flower Before the sweetness turns to sour What we have we're gonna keep (Always) What we've lost we don't need (Always) What is it that won't let you sleep (Always) Be the arrow and the target Put your head...

This was updated today. To have the #5 single in the world is impressive, and it will help the album, along with the tour, nominations, etc. Watch for one of the Elevation remixes to show up on the club charts in the U.S. BD did something very similar. Here's the news clip: "Elsewhere on...
