NEW @U2 U2 BACK IN THE RECORD BOOKS

U2 is back in the Guinness Book of World Records, thanks to the Live 8 performance of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with Paul McCartney. The song will be listed for being the "quickest single put on sale" -- it was available on iTunes and other digital stores within 45 minutes after the performance.
U2 has been in the Guinness Book twice before -- for "Largest Audience for a rock tour" (playing to over 2.9 million people in 93 shows on the PopMart tour) and "Largest Video Screen" (the screen on the PopMart tour).

Very good for a tour with "attendance problems", eh?
...and the final numbers were 95 shows - 3.9mln people... I guess the above was just "enough to break a record"...
