The Best Of 1990-2000 sold 185,000 copies in its first week in America for a #3 debut, though it was solidly trounced by Justin Timberlake and the second week of 8 Mile. Them’s the breaks. It fared one slot better in England, held out of #1 by Blue. The album did make it to #1 in Canada (thanks, Ian), Australia, and (GASP!) Ireland… others as we hear ’em.

Still damn good for a best of. How did 80-90 do its first week? I think Sweetest Thing was a much bigger hit than ES. That may have helped sales.

From Jam:
Canadian Album Charts
1. U2 — “BEST OF 1990 – 2000” (55,900)
2. VARIOUS ARTISTS — “8 MILE OST” (44,600)
U2 gets #1 in Canada every time out. All four singles from ATYCLB went to #1. Good taste, eh?

I just hope it doesn’t raise the number of fans here. I don’t want to struggle getting tickets….ah!, of course, if U2 ever comes back to Mexico. (“Oooh, U2 didn’t tour Europe well” big BAH)

i can’t say that i’m suprised that u2 is #3. Eminem’s new movie just came out, which was the second highest r-rated debut ever, so there has been a lot of promotion for that and the album, since there is actually oscar talk for him, then timberlake, he worked with timbaland, and he is from nsync. BLAH! pisses me off! oh well, just goes to show how great america is when it comes to music, right? no, not really? damn, ok…
