I just talked to my mum about what everyone's discussing here concerning the new album (and new apple ipods and whether or not u2 is involved again) and she thinks it's hilarious how we come up with new stuff every day, never stopping to guess

Why would U2 even want to associate themselves with Apple's latest "creations", I don't know.

Its christian music on christian radio, it doesn't count. And there is no wikipedia entry for it, so it can't be all that famous...

Never said it was famous. why wouldnt it count? I simply said that it was done before.
And wikipedia isnt exactly the most reliable.....

To get 10 songs from an album on the top 10 on christian radio, is a whole different kettle of fish, compared to getting on the top 10 on mainstream radio.
Also this was in 1992, when modern Christian rock was in its infancy, people probably thought it was the second coming or something.
I'm sure if the're were u2 radio stations all twelve songs of NLOTH would make it on the top 10.
Anyway, I think bands/producers deliberately try not to have an album of singles.

What Bono is probably trying to say is that they are at a stage now where they have little else to prove. They're very comfortable with what they've achieved, they have a gi-normous fan-base and they have the freedom to push the boundaries and not be confined to expectation or formula. So Harry your Zooropa comparision might close to the mark - at least the sort of mindset behind the final product, not the actual music if you know what I mean.
But it's also very possible that we're all reading a bit too much into what Bono is quoted as saying.

They'd release the new single well before the new album wouldn't they?
