Subscriber yardie 220 Posted February 3, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted February 3, 2014 Heard Invisible on the radio while driving, so good to hear a new U2 song getting airplay brought a big smile to my face, perfick to lift a Monday! The song really works on the radio, good to drive to, I was nicely surprised!! Indeed. My wife texted me at work earlier today to say 'i have just heard the new U2 song on the radio, sounds really really great'. Needless to say i texted back 'sure I was telling you that last night' whilst on the pc....she replied 'sounds a lot better on the radio!' And there you have it folks.......it's a 'grower'!

MacFoley 55 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 'INVISIBLE' DEBUT IS STRONG ON RADIO Posted: February 03, 2014By: Karen LindellU2's new song "Invisible" has been anything but on the radio. According to Billboard, the tune, available as a free downloadvia iTunes through 11:59 p.m. Feb. 3, enters the Rock Airplay chart at No. 35, the chart's biggest gainer, after one day of airplay, with 2.2 million "audience impressions" from plays at 50 rock airplay stations. Also, according to radio industry sources: * As of about 3 p.m., "Invisible" had been played at least once on almost five dozen radio stations in the U.S. * More than 20 stations had already played the song 10 or more times. * It’s had the most “spins” on Alternative (148), Active Rock (97) and Rock (89) stations. Because the song has been available as a free download -- with Bank of America donating $1 for every download to the (RED) campaign -- the release won't show up on the standard singles charts, which are based on sales. According to Gary Trust, charts manager at Billboard, the company does "not include giveaways on our charts as part of our minimum pricing policy." He added that "iTunes' free downloads are not reported to Nielsen SoundScan, which provides the data for our charts," so those downloads do not affect Billboard sales charts anyway.

You to, me too. What a great tune thoroughly love it It's not even the single - it's an album track. I can't imagine how great the new album is going to be. First 'Ordinary Love' and now 'Invisible' - can't wait. I have a feeling it's gonna be my favourite U2 album What a great marketing and charity idea too. Got a good feeling about all this. Back to the music if 'Ordinary Love' and 'Invisible' are a glimpse into how Danger Mouse operates I'm all in favour of his involvement it's such a refreshing sound. And in my opinion (not that it's worth much) some of U2's best work ever. Looking forward to hearing some more new stuff soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber U2LAWoman 148 Posted February 4, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) If U2 pulls a Beyoncé, I will die of shock! And include videos, we will all die of shock. It's amazing what a rock band, it's fans and of all things a bank can do. Edited February 4, 2014 by U2LAWoman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
