I always liked to compare what numbers each U2 single got to in the UK charts, but tragically, the uk charts have completely changed. From War onwards, U2 easily made the top 20 in the uk with every single. And then came NLOTH, and since then, their uk chart positions have gotten worse and worse. And GOOYOW doesn't seem to have charted at all?
So I ask the chart buffs, is there any fair way to compare the sales performance of every U2 single, roughly in the fairest way?
The charts keep changing over time, so I'm having a hard time to find out which is the best way to compare them.
For example, TUF, TJT, and RAH all safely made the top 10 in terms of singles. Then The AB singles mostly didn't make the top 10. Whereas the ATYCLB and HTDAAB singles did amazingly well, all making the top 5. And then, from NLOTH, they struggled to even make the top 30, or in Magnificent's case, top 40! And now, for SOE, TBT got to number 92.
So yes - what is the best way to compare all these? Preferably in a simple, non-complicated way, so I can get a possible list going.
