Week 9

KUEFC09U2 · 04-28-2009, 08:36 AM

U2 currentley OUT of the top 40 in todays midweeks in the UK, so from the good news of moving up a place on sunday, to the bad news of possibly being out of the top 40 this coming sunday

Oh wow...this is awful...flop

Magnificent is at 291 on itunes...come on Magnificent save the bloody album already

KUEFC09U2 · 04-28-2009, 10:19 AM

I wouldnt go as far as calling the album a flop, but it is definately dissapointing that it could be about to drop out of the top 40.

The Prodigy are going to outsell them in the end, their last album in 2004 only went gold...this album has done awful in the UK

i think youve summed it up quite well there with the prodigy. i dont understand how magnificent being in high radio play hasnt led to an increase in album sales. and its doing unbelieveably bad on iTunes.

I dont think we can say that people dont like U2 anymore in the UK - look at 18singles chart position, i expected it to re-enter top40 9certainly not top 20) but expetced it out of the top 100 within a week or two. at this rate it will be outselling NLOTH before long.

I think Magnificent/Breathe should help but if not, there is always the tour to boost the album for a few weeks. After that, its up to the album itself to hold ground...time will tell if in the end they outsell X or if X outsells them.

400,000 ticket sales sold out straight away here in UK don't think that says nobody likes u2 in the UK anymore!

Tommy WM · 04-28-2009, 08:30 PM

Album sales in general are going down...I wouldn't worry about it. It's U2 remember, the biggest and most sought after act in the world!

KUEFC09U2 · 04-29-2009, 02:52 AM

Just seen a new ad for the album, featuring magnificent and get on your boots, its only the second ad i have EVER seen for this album,

KUEFC09U2 · 04-29-2009, 05:32 AM

Todays midweeks and U2 are BACK into the top 40 in the UK at #36.

tommolo · 04-29-2009, 06:09 AM

uhm...i hereby see a consequence:
second tv advert and u2 album back in the top 40.
Maybe with a corageous THIRD advert we shall hope in the top 20?
