    That's interesting. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb has sold 10 million copies in two-and-a-half years, yet 18 has sold almost half of that in less than five months. But Wide Awake In America with the brilliant Bad version on it sold less than October (which is said to be the band's weakest album). Zooropa sold around 5000000 less than POP (another of the so-called weaker efforts, but POP is awesome!)

    I wonder what the 7EP chart sales happened to be.

    Atomic Bomb sold the majority of those 10 million copies also in a few months. 18 singles will not sell much more than it did until now.
