"Ordinary Love"

[Super Yo]

U2: The band likewise returns to Triple A with "Ordinary Love" at No. 24. It starts on Rock Digital Songs at No. 37 with 7,000 downloads sold. The song appears on the soundtrack to the biopic "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," which was released on Nov. 29, less than a week before former South African President and renowned activist Nelson Mandela died. (Having also been released as a 10-inch vinyl single for the Nov. 29 Black Friday-themed Record Store Day, the track, U2's first new recording since 2010, debuted last week at No. 1 on Hot Singles Sales with 2,000 sold.)

Is that right, that 2,000 units--or even 7,000 digital units--can get counted on a national chart? That's insane.

Ordinary Love keeps climbing on Triple A radio here in the states...and is doing well globally, too. Think it got to #4 in Italy, and saw it was charting in about 20 countries. Here's the current status in the U.S.

Back up 2 spots to 6 in U.S. on strength of awards maybe? Regardless, added nearly 50 spins just in past several days and could add to U2's record #1 songs on Adult Rock (Triple A).

Up to 11 in Switzerland this week.

Hot shot debut for Canada's Alternative Top 100 at 46, perhaps also for recent awards

And maybe someone can explain why "Lemon" is at VH1 S.A. #4???
