No Line On The Horizon takes the no. 1 spot!

No Line On The Horizon, U2’s twelfth studio album was released last week and this Thursday it debuted on no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. This is their 7th no. 1 album in the US.

Later: It sold 480,000 copies in the US on its first week. I was expecting at least 700,000 as How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb sold a bit over 800,000 5 years ago.
