"Atomic Bomb" explodes worldwide

U2's new album, "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" is doing exceptionally well all over the world.

It is at No1 on the album charts of most European countries and has sold a massive 840,000 copies during its first week in US stores alone. U2's 13th album in 25 years knocked Eminem's "Encore" off the top of the US Album Chart after two weeks out front.

The Irish quartet's previous package, "All That You Can't Leave Behind," entered -- and peaked -- the US Billboard charts at No. 3 in November 2000 on sales of 428,000 copies; it has a to-date total of 4.2 million.
