Coldplay 4 - The Countdown Ends!
Viva... soars to Number 1 on entry!!!
16th Jun 08
After the unusual, yet increasingly popular release day for music's big-hitters, Thursday, was employed by
Coldplay for the release of their fourth album, was time going to be against them to hit the number 1 spot
for the following Sunday? Not a chance!! The official UK album chart's figures reported 302,000 sales for
Viva la Vida or Death and all his Friends in just three days, to confirm its entering position at the
top of the charts. It also confirms the record as Coldplay's fastest ever selling album
Coldplay knocked off Paul Weller's 22 Dreams which consequently slipped down to 4, and palmed away competition from The Fratelli's newly-entered album, Here We Stand, which still hpwever achieved a succesful number 5.
Viva... was mixed by producer Markus Dravs in Miloco's Yard and Musikbox studios. Markus was interviewed by MILC as an exclusive for the album's release, you can read it here.
