U2 outselling rest of the Top 5 combined on the way to 11th Number 1 album with Songs of Surrender
officialcharts.comU2 are outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined as Songs of Surrender leads the race to become their 11th Number 1 album in the UK.
On their new LP, the legendary Irish rockers – lead by Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. – have re-recorded and re-interpreted songs spanning the band’s 40-year career.
