During the next days and weeks, I'll try to get all the infos I can find since the release of the bomb. Some of you will remember that I posted a list with the performance of the bomb in many countries and I want to do the same again because I update the list everyday. I don't post all the positions at the same time because I'm controlling if everything is right.

I don't have the chart performances of the singles, so you could post them also here. All the infos about U2 Back Catalogue are also welcome.

So I hope that we could create a great list with lots of informations. Thanks for your help.

Ok I start:

HTDAAB in Denmark:

1, 3, 8, 5, 4, 8, 11, 10, 14, 11, 16, 7, 12, 13, 20, 16, 17, 21, 21, 18, 22, 18, 19, 27, 24, 31, 40, 44, 41, 40, 51, 48

The bomb was the 16th best selling album in 2004.

This is its run up to week 32 on the Czech Top 80 Albums Chart. (**) means it dropped out.

1,3,5,6,6,8,9,9,11,9,13,14,23,15,25,15,38,48,27,29,31,42,42,43,
**,72,**,**,80,**,**,74

No idea of sales or certification though.
 
And this is its run in Finland. Not too great, but then U2 albums have never gone that great in Finland. At the end of 2004 it had sold just over 21,000 copies, so by now probably 27-28,000.

1,1,3,6,10,18,15,17,12,17,29,30,39,39 OUT
 
And this is from Italy:

1-1-4-5-5-6-3-3-4-8-
6-10-9-8-8-9-15-14-21-17-
16-17-17-26-33-33-44-42-41-39-
41-33-29-

About 450.000 copies sold by now.
 
This is a huge compilation of many charts about diferent albums of U2 that im making.

Some names are in spanish, sorry for that.

Many dates are from post i read here.

Thanks to Vox, Miracle and Fede.

Austria: 130.000 copias (platino)

For albums released up until the end of 2000 it was Gold - 25,000 and Platinum 50,000, then for 2001 and 2002 it was Gold - 20,000 and Platinum 40,000... since 2003 Gold is only 15,000 and Platinum 30,000

Finlandia: 27,965 copias

20,000 is GOLD in Finland, while 40,000 is PLATINUM. This is a very high standard for GOLD and PLATINUM in a country of only 5 million people. On a per capita basis in line with US levels for GOLD and PLATINUM, it should be about 8,500 for GOLD and 17,000 for PLATINUM.

@all: Thank you for all the informations. I'll post addiotional news tomorrow.

If you have more informations, post them.
 
Here's the complete mediatraffic world chart run for HTDAAB - weeks 15-20 & 24-33 are my estimates but they are about right :

39(84K), 1(1.854K), 2(862K), 1(840K), 1(820K), 1(827), 2(317K), 3(212K), 3(186K), 5(144K), 6(125K), 7(124K), 10(141K), 5(162K), 9(112K), 16(88K), 15(85K), 14(82K), 13(85K), 16(70K), 17(64K), 16(63K), 18(60K), 23(55K), 20(54K), 25(48K), 32(40K), 35(37K), 34(35K), 37(36K), 33(50K), 34(38K), 34(37K)

Total estimated mediatraffic sales to date = 7,839,000

Also here's the complete chart run of HTDAAB on the European top 100 album chart - I'm 98% certain about the postitions for week's 5-11 :

1, 1, 1, 2, 2(?), 2(?), 2(?), 3(?), 3(?), 4(?), 5(?), 4, 2, 2, 7, 4, 9, 14, 16, 17, 17, 22, 26, 27, 34, 42, 39, 42, 33, 17, 20, 18

HTDAAB was certified for 3M IFPI Europe sales in December 2004.

According to the BPI, WAR did not hit 600,000 until March of 1992. I have my doubts that it has sold more than 800,000 even in 2005 but perhaps it has. "1980-1990 Best of" has really taken away from the catalog sales of the pre Joshua Tree Album titles.

According to the BPI, WAR did not hit 600,000 until March of 1992. I have my doubts that it has sold more than 800,000 even in 2005 but perhaps it has. "1980-1990 Best of" has really taken away from the catalog sales of the pre Joshua Tree Album titles.

I had my doubts also untill I recently saw a list of the UK's 100 best selling albums of the 80's as compiled by MRIB on 9th December 1989 : War came in at # 90 & the # 97 album 'The Christians' by The Christians apparantly sold 230K in 1987 + 560K in 1988. So based on this info (from Hit Music) War MUST have sold around 800,000 up untill this point. Also 'Picture Book' by Simply Red was # 92 & this was certified 3xPlatinum on Sept. 29th 1989.

And let's not forget the BPI certifcations are often crap especially for older albums.

ps - JT came in at # 8 (it sold 1.45M in '87 + 250K in '88), R&H was # 32 (sold 820K in '88 + 200K in '89), UABLRS was # 45 & UF was # 78.

Some small corrections here. Vertigo was #39 in its last week and not #29. Sometimes... debuted at #36 and then had the chart run as you described.

The Joshua tree

This chart run isn't entirely correct. Here's the run as I have it:

The Joshua Tree (21-3-1987):
17-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
1-1-1-1-3-2-2-?-2-2
3-4-5-5-5-4-5-5-6-?

C ya!
