  1. Not really. come Monday after Halloween the spotlight will turn to Christmas. I should think this will be released in a couple of weeks time.
  2. Great to see Ed included. Bet the rights for that cost them a pretty penny!
  3. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/c...b1zeFB8Xe89eJL4 Since their debut at the turn of the century, Coldplay have become one of the most reliable mainstays of British pop music of the past two decades. Led by Chris Martin, the four-piece have oscillated between tender indie-rock to supercharged stadium pop across nine albums. Their most recent, Music of the Spheres, is their most commercial pop offering yet, and is tracking to debut at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart this Friday - which would be their ninth consecutive Number 1 album, making them one of few acts to gain a Number 1 with every one of their studio albums. With the recent news the band plan to stop releasing music after 12 albums, now seems like the perfect time to reveal which Coldplay albums currently come out on top on the UK's Official Chart. In eighth place is 2019's Everyday Life with 268,000 UK chart sales, while 2014's demure Ghost Stories - ostensibly written about Chris Martin's divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow - is seventh on 733,000. In sixth place is 2015's super-charged technicolour A Head Full Of Dreams with 1.3 million chart sales - the band's most-streamed album to date. And now - a closer look at the Top 5... 5. Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends Released: 2008 Official Chart peak: Number 1 UK Chart sales: 1.5 million A bold baroque pop record produced by David Bowie's frequent collaborator Brian Eno, the fantastically titled Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends has the highest first-week sales of any Coldplay album, shifting 302,000 copies in its first seven days on sale. Better still, its title track became the band's first Number 1 single in both the UK and the US after a nine-year-long wait. 4. Mylo Xyloto Released: 2011 Official Chart peak: Number 1 UK Chart sales: 1.6 million Another collaboration with Brian Eno, Mylo Xyloto is a sci-fi concept record (a theme the band would revisit in Music of the Spheres) set in a distant dystopian future. It gave Coldplay a second UK Number 1 in the form of Paradise and a further two Top 10 singles (Every Teardrop is a Waterfall and Princess of China with Rihanna). Released at the peak of the download age, it's also the band's most-downloaded record, with 422,000 of its 1.6 million chart sales coming from downloads. 3. Parachutes Released: 2000 Official Chart peak: Number 1 UK Chart sales: 2.7 million Coldplay's debut album sets out exactly what the band hoped themselves to be in a post-Britpop landscape; tender, sweeping and full of emotion. Lead by breakout tracks Shiver and Yellow (their first Top 10 single, peaking at Number 4), Parachutes still remains the emotional core of every type of music Coldplay have experimented with. 2. X+Y Released: 2005 Official Chart peak: Number1 UK Chart sales: 2.8 million X+Y had, by all accounts, a troubled and frantic development. The band discarded many tracks in development with their then-producer Ken Nelson and started from scratch, pushing the release date back. The result is an album that expands the band's sound, with a heavy electronic influence. Its most well known track is Fix You - written for Chris Martin's then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow - which reached Number 4 on the Official Singles Chart, while lead single Speed of Sound peaked at Number 2, then Coldplay's highest-ever charting song. 1. A Rush of Blood to the Head Released: 2002 Official Chart peak: Number 1 UK Chart sales: 3 million The album where Coldplay graduated from promising young upstarts to one of the defining British bands of their generation. Taking Parachutes' tender indie-rock and graduating it to a stranger and more confident soundscape, A Rush of Blood to the Head was where Coldplay started to sound like Coldplay. Containing lauded singles such as The Scientist and Clocks, it's no wonder the band's second album is their most successful in the UK; shifting chart sales of over 3 million to date. It's also their best physical seller too - shifting 2.8 million physical copies.

    Makes you wonder what’s the point of it? It’s probably decided on Friday, but if they really have to have a HR then have something that’s unlikely to be in the chart.

    18. Anne-Marie & Little Mix - Kiss My (Uh Oh) They just played Jesy Nelson, but didn’t catch the number so it’s either 19/20. I’ll do my best to post the tracks for you. Edit:- Risers on the case :)

  13. I'm only thinking that because if they're planning on re-releasing Now 10 on the same day as 110, then 3 Now releases on the same day would be a bit much.

  15. I presume that this will be this will be the first time that Ellie's version of 'River' will be available outside of Amazon?

    I expect they will. What's the hurry? It's probably got an impact date of early November so plenty of time. Nothing much of interest to me this week. Good to see Ewan McVicar moving up to B List. :)
  18. There will be a rajar release at the end of October. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2021/09/date-set-f...since-may-2020/
  19. Not a bad tune. It’ll probably grow on me, but not as good as ‘Looking For Me’
  20. The BTS fans are clearly out in force today. Even the Instrumental version of 'My Universe' is in the Top 10 at Number 8 :lol:
  21. Guns N' Roses have put out a new track this morning. NdBsMBaqnME Not sure if it's a standalone track or there's an album coming? Have to wait and see.
  22. I really like it. Would be great to see it grabbing a week or two at Number 1 bZYPI4mYwhw

    Great to see Coldplay straight to A List. Bit of a surprise seeing Biffy straight to B List, but a nice one all the same and great to see continued support for Blossoms.
