1. Probably more so in North America the pre sales will have had a big influence because it’s a free album but the uk charts will only have been slightly influenced by giving out a pre sale code with the album as you still had to pay for it.

  3. After listening a couple of times. For me the album starts with Summer of Love. From there I start enjoying the songs.
    Anyone agrees?

    I play the first 2, then skip Best Thing/GOOYOW & AS and then play it on from there Then skip Ordinary Love and end it with BOYH.
  6. anyone thinking what we'll get videos for?
    Pretty sure we'll get one for Little things.
    Maybe American Soul?

    Almost the same here...
    Lights of home I’ve played till the outro, then it bores me...
    From Summer of Love I enjoy it.

    But I would never skip Ordinary Love. For me the best U2 track in years...
  8. I quite enjoy listening to an album in full but if I’m restricted by time it’s best Thing, American soul and showman that get sacrificed and I’ve not been playing the Lights Of home string mix or best thing remix much at all. Don’t get the love for the string mix especially when the album version is perfect to me.
