Just Googled. Billboard reckon it’s on course for number one. They did SNL last week but, living in Ireland, I’ve no idea what other promo they’ve done in the US.
Songs of Innocence only charted at 9 in the US but the whole release strategy with Apple probably impacted sales.
Incidentally, looking at recent releases of U2 on Wikipedia, they haven’t half released some crap over the last few years in terms of live albums, greatest hits and the like. Allied to the fact that they toured The Joshua Tree on the 30th anniversary, U2 have sort of become what Jon has been determined not to be - blatantly reliant on nostalgia.
They’ve milked their catalogue far more than Bon Jovi yet Jovi get hammered far more for being a commercial band...
