The Top 50 albums of the decade - and not a single album from U2

Dara McBride: Bono is a wonderful musician and a great world citizen — but can anyone really make any sense of his latest column in the Sunday New York Times? It's all about the fall of the Berlin Wall and its impact on this "singer," who is of course Bono. He even catches himself writing about himself in the third person — but I don't know if it works. It all gets kind of weird.

A furious row has broken out over U2's mini-gig in Germany Thursday night as part of the MTV European Music Awards. U2 - who brought on Jay-Z as their surprise guest - played a free gig at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate.

U2 could be hearing from the Dublin City Council over the decibel levels reached at their three concerts in Croke Park earlier this year.

U2 will not be able to plan a lavish Christmas if they are depending on royalties from their 360 tour to do so. As the band wraps up the 2009 part of their world tour, they have yet to hit the breakeven point.

U2 dedicated part of their latest concerts to Boyzone singer Stephen Gately, who tragically passed away on October 10.

I hate to say I told you so yet again – but Susan Boyle made me do it. Amazingly, Susan Boyle just beat out Bruce Springsteen, U2, the Dixie Chicks and Coldplay over at Amazon.com.

An upcoming U2 gig will be streamed live on the world’s biggest video site YouTube.com.

Lady GaGa helped out new pal Bono Sunday night with an extra special gift for Gavin Friday's 50th birthday bash. Dressed in just a sheer leotard with two blacked-out crosses over her breasts, Lady GaGa teetered over to Friday on towering stilettos to present the birthday boy with his birthday cake.

Gavin Friday’s celebrity-filled birthday bash at Carnegie Hall ranks with U2’s current tour as the concert of the 2009. Featuring the rock gods of the last 40 years, it boasted artists as diverse as Lou Reed and Lady GaGa. Friday talks about the fulfillment of a lifetime dream.

Rumor has it that legendary Irish rock band U2 is planning to wrap up their epic tour with a surprise gig at Croke Park in Dublin.

U2 star Bono celebrated his 33rd birthday during the 1993 Zooropa tour with one bizarre gift! Pal Gavin Friday sent him a packet containing nails, a hammer and wood with a note marked “DIY.” “He didn’t get up on the cross, though!” said Friday.

Irish singing star Gavin Friday, former singer with the infamous Virgin Prunes and a close friend of U2’s Bono, has assembled some of his most famous friends for a very special one night only concert at Carnegie Hall on Sunday night.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Easy! Just ask Gavin Friday who plays there Sunday with U2, Rufus and Martha Wainwright and Scarlett Johansson. It's all part of a charity gig to raise money to fight AIDS.

Bono asked the 85,000 U2 fans packed into Giants Stadium on Thursday night why a bunch of Irish boys like them felt right at home in New Jersey. The answer is simple: for the biggest rock band in the world, everywhere is home.

They may be the biggest rock band in the world, playing sold-out shows around the globe on a weekly basis, but that doesn’t mean U2 is rolling in the dough. The longtime manager of the Irish rockers, Paul McGuinness, has revealed the extreme daily overhead costs on the band’s 360 Tour.

Not even the Megan Fox, the hottest actress on the planet, could resuscitate "Jennifer's Body" at the box office last weekend as the movie trailed in last with a paltry $6.8 million.

Michael Jackson’s older brother Jermaine made a pit stop in Dublin on Friday en route from Vienna to appear on the “Late Late Show,” where he revealed to host Ryan Tubridy that Ireland was Michael’s “getaway” place to escape from all the madness in his ultimately tragic life.

U2 stars Bono and The Edge turned out for Colin Farrell Monday night in Toronto as the father-to-be launched his new fantasy movie "Ondine."

It’s summer, the weather is hot and the beer is cold. There’s nothing like a few good old Irish tunes to get the party started. Here are a few IrishCentral picks for Irish drinking songs to liven up any hooley.

There's just one person who has yet to figure out why U2 is the superstar band it is. Bono. The 49-year-old singer says something "very strange" happens when he walks into a room with bandmates Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr. and the Edge.

U2 broke another record on Friday night when they played in front of 88,000 people at Wembey stadium, breaking the record attendance at the venue, previously held by U.S. rockers The Foo Fighters, by 5,000.

Even Bono and The Edge's bulletproof music and lyrics may not be enough to save the pair's high-profile Broadway debut, 'Spider-Man.' Broadway insiders say the show — with a whopper $45M price tag — may be closing before opening night.

Is “It Might Get Loud” the rock guitar film to end them all? There’s no doubt that U2’s fans will be intrigued to see lead guitarist The Edge finally let in some light on the three decades of mostly magic that comprise the Irish super group.

Ya gotta love Gary Lightbody, the frontman with Snow Patrol, who's currently "resting" after a go-kart accident in Germany. Instead of hiring a lawyer and suing some poor schmuck, the 33-year-old picked himself up, dusted himself down and took a swipe at himself for being an idiot.
