Lots of confusion and bashing has been going on because U2 are releasing ANOTHER best of, their third in the space of a few years. The reason behind this is simple..

 

U2 are contracted to release 3 best-ofs with their record company Island, but they are now leaving their label, so they HAVE to put out a best-of as its in their contract. Im sure they're not really happy about it either, which Im guessing is why the profits from the new single are going to charity, to ease any opinions that this project is just cashing in.

 

So that explans it :D

Oh, i'm relieved to here this. :D

 

I thought they were just cashing in :rolleyes:

 

 

Well that is very good news. :cheer:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

anyone surprised about how bad its doing in this week chart comparing to the likes of oasis and westlife

Not really, people arent bothered about it cause they already have 2 other Best of's that are both a much better buy imo.

 

It's going to be a very sad day for British music on Sunday what with the talentless Westlife beating 3 of the all time great bands :(

 

If only housewives just got better taste in music :angry:

 

Here in Ireland, U2 are #1 by miles in HMV, Virgin and Golden Discs.

ya u2 are well ahead in ireland i herad that on 2fm,westlife are 2,oasis 3 and beatles 4

 

If only housewives just got better taste in music :angry:

:rolleyes: I know....

I'm just protecting all those poor housewifes from the evil Scotty ^_^

NO,too much competition now.

maybe it might climb when its on sale price or something

It will contine to have strong sales in the run up to Xmas but I doubt it will sell a million myself.

and number 12 in the US! that´s really bad!

THATS not good to see them misiing the u.s top 10

US is very different though. Album tend to climb. But you can't expect this album to be a huge seller since the other 2 'Best Of' offer a far better collection of songs.

ya thats true this album isnt really anythingto by at all

Sorry to put this here, but I didn't feel the need to start a new thread

 

But what is the sample in New Years Day, it's doing my nut in :(
