U2 and Green Day share Top 10 Triple-A entry

The U2/Green Day collaboration “The Saints Are Coming” lands the second top 10 debut of 2006 at Triple-A as it enters at No. 10 on the Radio & Records charts. Only Tom Petty’s “Saving Grace” scored a higher debut this year when it debuted at No. 6 back in June.

If no more songs debut in the top 10 between now and the end of the year, it would mark the format’s fewest top 10 entries since 1997 when U2’s “Staring At The Sun” and The Rolling Stones’ “Anybody Seen My Baby?” were the only top 10 debuts.

Triple-A, Adult Album Alternative, is a rock leaning format aimed at adult listeners.
