Interested to see what the % of people are who downloaded No Line vs the % of people who bought the physical cd/album

On a U2 fan forum you will find most buy.

I bought the CD the day it was released over here in the UK.

I bought it both digitally on iTunes the morning of its release and then the physical CD later that day after classes were over.

I bought my copy in a supermarket.  You see, I'm a child of PopMart.

Interested to see what the % of people are who downloaded No Line vs the % of people who bought the physical cd/album

              CD/Album and a download from Amazon or another legit internet site selling the album is the same thing in terms of album sales. Both are tracked and added to the totals. Obtaining the album for free whether through a non-legal download or CD burning is not a distinction that is being made in the poll above.

               Finally, this is a U2 fan website, something which the vast majority of the people who obtain U2 albums, whether purchased or obtained for free through other methods, don't frequent. Not only will the sample not be representative of the majority, but the sample size itself will be too small.

I always buy the physical CD when it comes to U2, although I did buy the complete U2 collection on itunes when I received my U2 ipod years back.

It was 3.99 on AmazonMP3 the day it came out so I got the album there. At that point, my fandom had had a big drop off. But it all came back. Then a couple years later, I got a new copy of the deluxe CD  (album/booklet/film download) for about $4, shipped.

I did both. It was more cost effective to download it when it first came out and then I bought the book/cd at a later date.

I also bought the complete U2 collection when I got my U2 iPod. I have two sets of quite a few of the albums loaded on my iPod as a result!
