Here’s a list of the charts provided by the Official Charts in the UK for the new album: The album has also hit #1 in the Irish charts at home for U2. This is U2’s first #1 since 2009, when No Line on the Horizon made it to #1. U2 outsold the rest of the top five combined to reach the top of the charts. It has just been announced that U2’s Songs of Surrender has charted at #1 on its first week of release in the UK. U2 sold the equivalent of 46,500 equivalent albums (total album sales 42,000, streaming equivalents 4000, digital track equivalents 500.) To reach number one, U2 would have had to sell more than 209,500 copies of the album or track equivalents.Ĭhart positions for other countries can be found in our discography entry. U2 becomes only the fourth group with a newly-charting top 10 title on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and now the 2020s. In the USA, on the new Billboard 200 chart, U2 gets it’s 13th top 10 spot, with Songs of Surrender debuting at number 5.
