Even though the album is month's away, "Vertigo" is so successful that even Yahoo's news service has picked up the story! While it's gone now, Yahoo featured U2 on its front page for a while!

It's the same article presented in Billboard (in fact, it credits Billboard), but it was interesting to see even the main press pick up this story! Anyone who feared "Vertigo" was another "Discotheque" can rest. As great as "Discotheque" is (IMO), it some how rubbed people the wrong way and it hurt "Pop" and U2 (unfairly). Fortunately, "Vertigo" is really catching people's attention. It may not be a "Beautiful Day" type of hit, but it sure seems to bode well for the upcoming album!
