VLV - top 10 in the Billboard!!!

[omrimayo]

This is not a single, It's only available if you buy the whole album and still -
41-10 this week! It's unbeliveable...
if this song was the first single insted of VH I think it were break all the records...
AMAizing, with not radio airplay or something.

I have a question... this sold 239.000 copies in 2 weeks in the us... that meens the album sold 239.000 too? cuz it can only be download if you buy the album... 250.000 only from pre-oreder in ITUNES? OMG if that's true...

[johnnymax865]

viva la vida is having a huge success in my country too... I hope they're gonna promote it better with a video and a CD single...!
the album will be a success!

[JPB]

Hallejuha!

(Is that spelling right?)

I still love Violet Hill but man is Viva La Vida just a whole new level of awesome.

Playing it this Sunday at the MTV Movie awards will be sweet!!

[johnnymax865]

Hallejuha!

(Is that spelling right?)

[JPB]

It's A succes in Holland too #1 in the megatop 50 and #9 in the top 40 (leading chart)

Not many people know about VLV here but VH has been a big success and getting lots of radio play + top 10 in the charts for 3 weeks now.

You can buy VLV without pre-ordering the whole album, btw.

I don't understand why they made VH this lead single and didn't release it properly around the world. And, VLV is getting hotter, so PLZ shoot a video for it and release as a single!!!

[Viva La Violet Hill]

Viva La Vida - #1 on iTunes
The Album - #3 on iTunes

wow. they're beating out the american idol winner's new single.

[gus]

VLVODAAHF defenetly is gonna be number 1 in usa. and i think VLV is gonna be top 5 in the hot 100.

[omrimayo]

number 1 in the US is for sure... but the question is how many copies they will sale...
X&Y sold 737.000 in his first week... I dont C it happining again...

and about the single choise... I agree... VH is the first one but VLV which is not a single is HOTTER by a mile in sales and HYPE.

[Lore]

it's a great song.. that's why



and I think this album will be more successful than x&y :D

[ricardo]

wait.... viva la vida has not been released yet and its now in the US top 10? :O wow those are awesome news....

well may be you are right but i hope at least 500.000 sales the first week:).

[ricardo]

wow maybe vlv is going to be coldplay's first number one

[gus]

wow maybe vlv is going to be coldplay's first number one
maybe. but its huge for a uk band to have two top 10 in the us hot 100 singles only the beatles did that. now two singles its superv.(speed of sound,viva la vida).

[ricardo]

I know!! that's why I am so astonished to see it in the top 10

[sebrat]

great news, but it's only jumped due to the AI promotion - people who didn't hear about it on iTunes found out about it via the ad - and I'm betting it'll drop even further next week with no extra promotion (unless they do a full video/physical release)

as for the album, pre-orders will count for the opening week chart positions, so expect it to go #1 everywhere in the world with MASSIVE first-week sales - they're using a very dirty technique for this, but it's within the iTunes regulations

[Viva La Violet Hill]

well because ppl are worried about the economy over here, album sales have dropped significantly over the past few months. even an album as highly anticipated as coldplay's won't sell as much as it would.

that's why last year the two highest selling albums in the US were hannah montana and high school musical 2.

in fact, this week the highly-anticipated album from 3 doors down only sold 154,000 copies. the next closest was some rapper i've never head of with 98,000. i would say 500,000+ at most and it would be by far the best-selling album over here in the states.

^ thank you!

i'm feeling abit embarrassed for us Kiwis though - #40 is dreadful, we have no taste in music down here

[crestingwaves]

i second that for us Australians...most useless tastes of music in our mainstream radiostations...

[rudy_o]
