Local Time: 11:04 PM | Does anyone have full access to Billboards Catalog sales and/or chart? If U2's albums (specifically the 80's "Best Of" and possibly JT) also increased on that chart, then perhaps there was a push from "Entourage". Similarly, if HTDAAB slips back down next week, we know it was just a token push from the show. However, if HTDAAB and the Catalog albums increase again next week, then clearly something else is helping this album go back up the charts. Recall, in 2001, around this same time of year, ATYCLB fell out of the Top 100. However, thanks to "Stuck..." it slowly worked it's way back into the Top 100. It continued to linger in the Top 100, eventually reaching #10 when U2 won 4 Grammy Awards in 2002! Perhaps we'll see something similar with HTDAAB. Hmmm... wonder if U2 will be playing in the Super Bowl again this year?

Local Time: 01:04 AM | It's Entourage helping, along with increased plays on the Alternative stations.....if the album can make it to the next tour leg, which it should thanks to "COBL" on the rise, it should make it into '06. |

Local Time: 01:04 AM | U2 rules the Billboard Eurocharts! Billboard has updated it's Eurocharts, and U2 rules! Top 100 Albums HTDAAB up to #13 B/O 1980-90 at #64 RE B/O 1990-00 at #68 RE Joshua Tree at #99 RE COBL is at #45 on the Top 100 Singles As for the Pop Catalog Charts for the U.S. B/O 1980-90 up 2 spots to #28 It appears that U2 albums got a boost worldwide this week for whatever reason. |

  54. Copenhagen, Denmark : July 31, 2005 : Parken Stadion : GROSS $3,650,294 : ATTENDANCE 50,000 : SHOWS 1 : SELLOUTS 1 Although I'm not 100% certain, it appears that U2 now has the GROSS record and Attendance record for Parken Stadion in Copenhagen, Denmark. Past Stones and U2 attendance levels for the stadium were always below 50,000 and the GROSS was never as high as this. | |

The 26 album sold 69k whereas the 30 album sold 54k - so another steady week for Bomb. COBL also holds at 21 - with an increase in points ! Mike | |

Well the reason for the boost is the incredible performance in some european countries - clearly linked to the tour. The increase in the US was, while welcome, only very small. Mike | |

I did previously wonder about the timing of the hitlist chart compared to mediatraffic. With Faith Hill number one on the latter, on not yet featuring on the former, one has to conclude that the Hitlist chart next Sunday/Monday is the comparitor to the mediatraffic chart published today. Mike | |

Local Time: 06:04 AM | Wow, incredible results all round...especially Denmark!! I'm surprised that sales actually went down at mediatraffic though...i'll now estimate that it sold 40,000 this week with 41,000 last week & 42,000 two weeks ago - though i know this could still be a bit too low : 7,802,000 + 37,000 (w.33) + 38,000 (w.34) + 44,000 (w.35) + 42,000 (w.36) + 41,000 (w.37) + 40,000 (w.38) = 8,044,000 |
