your right. It doesn't matter how much others dont or do like it. Bono once said that U2 fans don't want to keep this band a secret, and I think thats true, but were not gonna blame anyone for not liking them, we may be a bit confused for a while as to why, but we get over it.

But I think the reason we want it to sell well is not so U2 can have more money, but so that U2 is known, and that they show a dominance on the chart, because as a fan, it's kind of cool to see your favorite band get to the top of the charts and be classified as the best. We know in our hearts that they are the best, but now we want others to know that to.
