On February 27th, U2 released their heavily publicized new album "No Line on the Horizon." It recently topped the Billboard 200 chart with 484,000 copies sold in the U.S. This is U2's seventh No.1 on the chart, which leaves them tied with Led Zeppelin for second-most No. 1 spots by a band. The Beatles hold the record with 19 No. 1 spots. Check out this article to hear more about U2 and charts. U2 has also revealed their summer tour dates. The tour, titled "U2 360," will kick off on June 30th in Barcelona. Their tour will be sponsored by Blackberry and it is their first stadium tour since 2006. The tour will go through 14 European cities and then follow with North American dates in September 2009. Read more about the tour from U2's website.
