Coldplay Is the Biggest/Worst Band Ever, But Not Really

The audacity of these pricks! Topping both the Billboard Top 200 and the UK Album charts with their newest album Viva La Vida. Coldplay was mildly awesome when Parachutes came out, but ever since they compromised their souls, married actresses and named their kids after fruit, they’ve huffed DONG.

Actually, I haven’t heard the album. But I heard the single and it was pretty fucking good. I just don’t like band monopoly. Judge me.

Coldplay’s latest album, Viva La Vida, debuts at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 with over 720,000 copies sold in its first week of release in the U.S.  Viva La Vida has topped the U.K. album chart for the second week in a row, where it is the fastest-selling album of the year, and No. 1 rankings continue to come in from around the globe including Japan, Australia, Canada, France and Germany.

Already the biggest album pre-order in iTunes history, Viva La Vida also set the record for highest first-week album sales ever on the iTunes® Store worldwide. Today the album’s title song surpasses “Clocks” as the band’s biggest-selling single to date on the iTunes Store. “Viva La Vida” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week, marking Coldplay’s first Hot 100 No. 1 single ever, and it debuted this week at No. 1 on the U.K. Singles chart.
