That's pretty cool. Can't wait to see how the album charts as a whole next week.


As a side note :

All Because Of You is going for adds this week. I wish U2 would officialy announce this as a single, damnit. It feels...unofficial in a sense and slightly weak that it hasn't been announced.

They may not have announced this as the "official" single yet as there may be a split. Europe, for example, might see "Sometimes..." as the next single, while the U.S. gets "All Because of You". Then we'll flip.

I don't really see the logic in this. Perhaps the "powers that be" in the music industry sense which songs would perform better in a different country/continent at a different time of year.

Also, with "Vertigo" still doing well overall (although, sadly, it appears to have peaked - I was hoping it would at least crack the Top 30 on the Hot 100 charts), they might not want to rush the next single too fast. Slowly add some spins and then announce its launch.
