Idolator

Didn't they give the album out for free a few weeks ago?

Sorry if I'm in a cave, but I don't keep to abreast on my U2Head news.

I'm confused. What's the "one-week" part for?

@Lax Danja House: They sold as many albums in one day as he sold in a week.

It this why each time I tried to log on to iTunes the last two days, my iTunes crashed? Overwhelming desire for music from dudes dressed like soliders? Maybe the emos think that My Chemical Romance have a new album out.

@Maura Johnston: Ah, I get it now. That's pretty impressive now that I think about it.

But more importantly, how many units did Katy Perry move???

@Rob Murphy: Too many.

Is it wrong that the minute this album arrived to my house this evening, I unwrapped it, imported it to Itunes, gave one listen to a track and a half, skipped to Viva La Vida [that's my jam], turned it off when the song ended and played Arcade Fire's Neon Bible?

@Tauwan: Wrong. But not surprising. :)
