You forgot to say that the song will be released on US Mainstream Radio on the 14th. That's what makes it a promo. Whether or not it actually becomes a single is unannounced.

[RazorEye]

Could you guys help me on Wikipedia? Please? This Holiday56 prick keeps stuffing the articles up! Saying Princess Of China is the fourth single. ITS A FUCKING PROMO MOTHER-

[Kiame]

I think it's pretty likely to be a single. Only problem is it features another artist so it would be hard to perform live unless Chris sings it all himself (although the band did say it didn't feel right when Chris sang it alone).

I said from before release that the singles would be :ETIAW, Paradise, Charlie Brown, PoC and Hurts Like Heaven so i'll stick with that.

Give notice to the administrator. With the argument, of course.

[robynature]

There is nothing on sale for the February 14.

^ Well, it obviously doesn't go for sale if it's on radio, now doesn't it?

[nb97]

POC only? No b-side? :cry:

[UnderStrawberrySwing]

^ Maybe because the artist is listed as 'Coldplay and Rihanna' it's not a 'proper' coldplay single from the album and we could get another one?? ...we can dream :P

[MorningGlory]

Hoping for a Princess of China whitout Rihanna :D

[UnderStrawberrySwing]

Hoping for a Princess of China whitout Rihanna :D

^same, loved the live version at rock im park with just chris

[ediskrad73]

another b-sideless single? youve gotta be KIDDING me.

[hps]

Lol..

read carefully, it is PROMO tracklist, not proper SINGLE.

[Prospector]

^ Where did you see it's promo?

[RazorEye]

Princess of China is the fourth single. Release in Great Britain occurs April 15. Spread the News!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007QT9N2Y/

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Coldplay_Princess_Of_China.jpg

[Coeurli]

^It's not the third. It's the fourth. CB was released on February 3rd, according to Coldplay.com.

[RazorEye]

Oops, didn't realize I said third lol

[Coeurli]

Freudian slip: I mean, it's not like CB is all over the place right now, is it ? :(

[doritji]

They's been playing it like mad on the radio stations here. According to the Belgian hitparade website it was released march 26th

[coldpatrix]

So strange...

http://www.discogs.com/Coldplay-Featuring-Rihanna-Princes-Of-China/release/3486524

Different artwork :\

[coldpatrix]

Different artwork :\

I think that one is for the promo version...

[Tash]

I think that one is for the promo version...

But the ETIAW promo looks the same as the normal release.
And I only know of a mp3 release for POC, or am I missing something?

[coldpatrix]

Maybe there will be a CD release in UK, but nobody can confirm... only rumours... I think it's strange Coldplay.com has not confirmed it yet...

[Tash]

Coldplay also hasn't confirmed anything about RSD, that's ten days from today. Ah well, let's just wait and see :)

[RazorEye]

You see, the thing is there's 2 coverarts to Princess of China. there's the
Promo cover, the artwork that was slapped onto the CD slip of the discs sent to radio stations on February 14:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/81/Coldplay_Princess_of_China_Promotional.jpg
And the absolute ugliest official artwork to ever come out of this era.
Yes, even uglier than the digital artwork on the static video, the official single release on April 15:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Coldplay_Princess_Of_China.jpg

[DundahMifflin]

I really don't mind the first cover. The second one, however, is like wat.

[Coeurli]

^:nod: We can't see anything on the 2nd one!

[DundahMifflin]

^:nod: We can't see anything on the 2nd one!

I've always enjoyed the art style for this era, but still. That is fugly in more ways than one.

[Cheese Nip 2]

The top one doesn't have the symbol so it's probally not the final one.

I still like the red one personally. :shrug:

[Coeurli]

This :nod:

[Blue Nails]

Oh the second one is horrible. :|

[Famous Old Painter]

I wouldn't hold your breath for a physical retail release or a b-side. Physical singles and b-sides are outdated concepts now, unfortunately. That's just the way it works nowadays. ETIAW was released as an EP, but I can't see that happening with PoC. Why would they give the fourth single a proper release and not the second or third singles? It wouldn't make sense.

[Ouch]

Both artworks are honestly pure junk, one being just a close up on CB and the other is just......... yah what the other comments say. Oracle must tell us this horrible problem.... :inquisitive:

[coldpatrix]

http://itunes.apple.com/it/album/princess-china-radio-edit/id515598674

[Cobalt]

Oh yuck, terrible artwork. :sad:

[The Final Track]

They're all pretty awful, but this one's horrid.

[Cobalt]

The first one in the OP is not so bad. But yeah to me the digital single one is wayyyyy too convoluted and clashing

[Tash]

^ :nod:

[filiprasmusson]

I want them to do like they did with Lost. One with Jay-z and one without.
Do one with Rihanna, and one without! :D

[aschall]

perhaps the tracklisting will be:

1. Princess of China
2. Princess of China (Intsrumental)
3. Princess of China (Radio Edit)

*700th post :lol:

What the shit.

[Ouch]

Wait so it's released today?? Where is it?! I must see official track list!! (or is it just the radio edit? Because I already got it :/ and sounds the same as the original version). And I'm guessing it's another b-side less. :cry:

[Prospector]

The photo has too much wall on it, don't know how to say it, but the previous singles had closer pics, this one has too much things going on alngo with the longer text. The whole ETIAW cover fits in there!!

[Tash]

Can someone who speaks Italian help me out? I stumbled upon an article (http://www.radiowebitalia.it/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=75345:coldplay-princess-of-china&Itemid=98), when I translate it into English it says:

Coldplay will present their new single "Princess Of China", in Radio Friday, April 20.

Is that correct? If so, does that mean they will give an interview or something like that?

Thanks in advance!

[Ouch]

It just says that their new single will be out on the radio on Friday, April 20th.

[Sjef]

Ooh! I guess the video will come out that day too!
I don't like the idea of taking "Princess of China" this literally (all the ninjas and stuff on the photos), but I'm excited anyway!

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Ugh, why didn't they keep the old artwork? :sick: I kind of liked the old one, but the new one is horrid

[Voskhod349]

For anyone who hasn't listened to the mp3 that became available on Amazon today (the one with the ridiculously colorful artwork) it is not only a different edit than the radio edit promo available earlier, but it is a different mix than the song on the album, with background vocals near the end that were not present in other versions.

its meh. the vocals kinda muddy up the last section imho

[Tash]

comparison of two versions

www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2AWxEDXN1A

[Cheese Nip 2]

The mix is different and there are more fancy things in the background from what I here, but are Rihanna's vocals different? Especially at that one echoey "you really hurt me". I don't know might just be my speakers...

[Screenager Girl :D]

I want them to do like they did with Lost. One with Jay-z and one without.
Do one with Rihanna, and one without! :D

This would be lovely! :laugh3:

[Denise]

I (and others too) already posted about this here (http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5277671#post5277671). It's a thread for collectors, but that doesn't mean that people cannot find useful info, you can go in, no one will eat you :wink:

[coldpatrix]

The Invisible Men are a songwriting and production trio based in London and were recently named as one of Music Week's Top 50 Songwriters of 2011.[1] The team are Jason Pebworth and George Astasio (former members of the band Orson) and Jon Shave (former member of Xenomania).

Orson sold over a million copies of their debut album, reached no. 1 in both the UK singles and album charts, and received the Brit Award for Best Breakthrough Act 2007. As a member of Xenomania, Jon Shave contributed to a string of top 10 hit singles, including co-writing The Show for Girls Aloud.

The Invisible Men co-wrote DJ Fresh's recent UK no.1 single Hot Right Now (featuring Rita Ora) and have further forthcoming singles in 2012 with Conor Maynard, DJ Fresh and Jessie J. Their collaborations with Jessie J resulted in Jessie's first single Do It Like A Dude, fourth single Who's Laughing Now (song) (both co-produced with Parker and James), and forthcoming single LaserLight (feat. David Guetta).

Other artists they have been working with include David Guetta, Pixie Lott, Nicola Roberts, The Noisettes and Olly Murs.

Why is everybody posting their email address? :wtf: I don't recall that anyone said that they have the mp3's already.
Besides that, it's not the wisest thing to post your email address on a message board where everybody can see it :|

I walked into work today and Princess Of China was playing, so I think it was definitely released as a single yesterday.

[Ouch]

^yeah? Won't someone be a good boy and post a link to get the single/promo? :(

[Voskhod349]

Has anyone bought a copy on ebay?

[prjio307]

I got it off iTunes and I gotta say I really like the extra "la la la"'s at the end.

[Ouch]

Yes I saw a youtube video about the difference between the radio edit and the original mix XD. They do add some quality to it.

[MorningGlory]

It's even on Spotify as a single now!

So. Both of the ebay promos sold, obviously not to anyone here (or they just haven't received them yet).

Interestingly enough none of my other sources have leaked this...

I really want to hear it's instrumental!

[DundahMifflin]

It's even on Spotify as a single now!

Princess of China (http://open.spotify.com/track/19TPvVmCUHn71omJ16N9hK)

I noticed that!

I actually like the edit. *hides*

[Ouch]

I finally got the instrumental and the radio edit!!! But that invisible men remix is a bitch to find. Anyone know where to find it?

[Voskhod349]

Can you upload the instrumental and whatever edit is on the promo? The only place I've seen the remix is on the CDs from ebay.

[Ouch]

Can you upload the instrumental and whatever edit is on the promo? The only place I've seen the remix is on the CDs from ebay.

Sure I will. I will have it ready in 4shared.com and for sure I am unsure of the instrumental I have, its a little wierd on the guitar parts but i'll upload it anyways. Still looking for the remix.

[Voskhod349]

It might be the unofficial one posted in the instrumentals thread in the multimedia section.

[coldpatrix]

I've found the remix, but I have to save a streaming track on internet. Someone could do that?

[coldpatrix]

Done! I HAVE the remix. The most awful remix on this heart!

It's a shit, isn't?

[Dexynboy]

How can I download the instrumental??
official

[Tash]

Ugh, awful remix!

[pansonic]

What is this crap??

[pansonic]

They better be saving up some REAL DEAL for the EP!!!!!

[KoxMartin]

The radio edit was better than the original, the extra "la la la" was good.

[Dexynboy]

How can I download the instrumental??
somebody? :D

[Prospector]

The radio edit was better than the original, the extra "la la la" was good.

I love the original la la la, but the extras made it to repetitive and artificial...

Edit: Just heard the remix, probably the worst official ever released. And I thought the Paradise one was bad... :confused:

[Ouch]

I'm getting the CD in a couple of days once I get the money for it. So hold on everyone. :)

[Dexynboy]

cool :D

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

The extra la la la is cool but more noise upon noise that didn't need to be there. The song could've benefited from making the Chris-Rihanna vocals better fitted to each other or with more harmonizing. Somehow.

[Ouch]

*link removed by Moderator*

Uploaded the radio edit for anyone wanting it. It's the official one unlike them other links I find that aren't.

[coldplay12]

i have the single 4tracks and the instrumental and the remix are juste amazing....
they sound just amazing on my 5.1 home cinema....

I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to upload the radio edit but the instrumental and remix should be fine seeing as how they are only on the promo CD, not the single.

[MorningGlory]

It's a promo right? does that mean we can get a normal single?

[rafaelchampion]

Want the instrumental so badly :(

Please man, post the links to that promo! This is not illegal, because is only a promo.

Love the Instrumental. All of the music to MX is just great alone.

[Danceteacher]

They just played it on German Radio!

[DundahMifflin]

Love the Instrumental. All of the music to MX is just great alone.

Seriously. I haven't enjoyed Coldplay's instrumentals as much as I have with Mylo Xyloto. Musically, I think it's one of their best.

[Jack DC 93]

When they first played the MX songs live, I thought they would all sound great as instrumentals. Looks like I wasn't wrong there :D

Now, if only they would release the instrumental for Hurts Like Heaven, then my life would be complete.

[Alien Radio]

Wow, thanks for the instrumental, love it :)

[Voskhod349]

The instrumental sounds awesome! Can you post a link to the remix also? Then my promo will be complete!

[golfing7861]

Thank you for posting the instrumental, it's wonderful!

[Coldpl@y]

Is POC just going to be another promo release like CB? Bloody shame with CB...could've done so well in Australia after the success of Paradise. Think they're mad that while touring in the USA they don't release POC. What are they thinking? Any news on release dates?:confused:

[CristinaTGS]

Hoping for a Princess of China whitout Rihanna :D

so am I!
I like Rhianna, but not with Coldplay.

[Chris594]

Does anyone have the radio edit and instrumental in flac or other lossless format please.

[Coeurli]

I've just read that Rihanna went to the hospital the other night after the Met Ball :\ She fainted (highly dehydrated and exhausted). Everyone knows she can drink A LOT. From what I've read (so, gossips), some people close to her think she should go to rehab. :\

Back to being a soul-less capitalist bitch: do you think a trip to rehab could help PoC's sales ? :wacko:

I'm not sure. More media coverage could be a positive thing but I don't think that will be the case when it comes to sales figures.

Princess Of China is Coldplay's new single
15 May 2012 1:49 pm
Mylo Xyloto's fourth single gets official release on 4 June
http://coldplay.com/images/news_line.png

Good afternoon. As many of you will know, the fourth single to be taken from Mylo Xyloto will be Princess Of China, featuring Rihanna. In the UK, the single will be available as a digital bundle, featuring a remix by the Invisible Men, from 4 June. The song has been added to the playlists of the big UK radio stations from this week and the video, which was directed by Adria Petty and Alan Bibby, is due to premiere soon.

You can check out the single's artwork below:

Anchorman

[TecHniCoLoR_MX]

^ Ehhh =/

[MorningGlory]

Every Teardrop's art is in it! don't like it, all artworks from this era are so kitchy... exept the MX art itselfs. P.O.C deserves a better art, there are so much better close ups from the MX wall!

[admnistramation]

I will say what I will about the quality of this album, but the artwork isn't at all disappointing. :) I do wonder if they'll include any extra tracks with this single's release.

[Jack DC 93]

I love how with the announcement of PoC officially being the 4th single, the song starts to climb the UK iTunes chart... even though the single isn't officially released until the 4th June :D It's currently placed at 34. May be wise to check the chart update today to see if it's currently in the Top 40.

[pansonic]

I see Golden Arrow and.... Wait for it........ Car Kids!!!)))

Ok, in fact they said it will include the dreaded invisible crap remix... So I doubt it will have something extra... ((((((((

[Jack DC 93]

Chart update released, but no sign of PoC at the moment. Still climbing up the iTunes chart though, it's now at 26.

EDIT [19/5, 12:00]: Back down to 21 (Peak: #19).

[Prospector]

^ Maybe if CB had had (that sounds odd) a official announcement it could have peaked higher. Whatever, I hope the video is not as bad as it's shaping up to be, still love the song and hopes it gets a Top 10 :D

[Cheese Nip 2]

I wonder why they aren't releasing like, traditional singles. Don't those sell better because fans buy physical forms, more press release, etc. People who have the albums aren't gonna download them, and non fans won't know about the single releases cause they are announced through the site. Very strange, but what do I know.:shrug:

[Jack DC 93]

Official UK Top 40 for 20th May 2012:

Quite surprising, especially since it hasn't officially been released yet.

[Jack DC 93]

UK Chart Update for May 23, 2012:

PoC has moved up to #26. Interesting indeed.

[Mister MX]

Been added to recordings section: http://coldplay.com/recordings.php

Sorry if it's been mentioned...

[Voskhod349]

Another single without b-sides...

[kover]

well with the album, an EP, and 5 singles out within a year and a day of the MX era's beginning, i think we can assume that we're not too far from the end.

[laxwatcher]

:( I am really hoping that they release an EP sometime this year. It seems like the only possibility, what with ETIAW, Paradise, Charlie Brown and Princess of China out without B-sides, and UWTB/UFO limited edition without any other songs on it. I'm sure they've produced many hits that have never seen the light of day.

[Ouch]

Been added to recordings section: http://coldplay.com/recordings.php

Sorry if it's been mentioned...

Are Coldplay f***en serious of that single artwork???? Gah, nooooo..... :\
Sigh. I thought it was Invisible Men remix not Invisible Man remix.... :inquisitive:

[Prospector]

Official UK Top 40 for 20th May 2012:

(New peak position)

well actually it peaked 30 on the album release week too, but yes, it is surprising.

[Jack DC 93]

well actually it peaked 30 on the album release week too, but yes, it is surprising.

It actually peaked at number 33 when the album released ;)

(Sorry, I have a habit of correcting people :/)

[Prospector]

^ oh, don't be sorry, I failed :disappointed:

and on yesterday's chart update:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GJ0FZTnyiHI/T75tddrq61I/AAAAAAAAAsw/gJSA5SpiaYw/s895/poc.png

Let's hope it does go up by the end of the week :awesome:

[Jack DC 93]

It's now hit #16 on the UK iTunes chart.

Looks like the mere announcement of a single was enough for people to go crazy and buy it.

Me like :D

[Jack DC 93]

:shocked2:

http://i50.tinypic.com/27zahdh.png

It's done better than CB... Imagine when it officially releases.

[Prospector]

^ You were faster, I was coming here to do it :P, and imagine if it gets to the top 10 next week, one day before the release

[Jack DC 93]

^ You were faster, I was coming here to do it :P, and imagine if it gets to the top 10 next week, one day before the release

Well, I certainly wasn't listening to the chart just so I can post what position PoC was in before anyone else...

(I went to check, and it was currently playing. Happened last week too.)

I don't think it will break the top 10 next Sunday, but if the music video does release this week then I can see it going up a few places.

[Prospector]

Aham, went to check ;) , And yeah, a top ten isn't realistic.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Will there be no physical release ? :(

[Prospector]

^ I don't think so...just that promo with the remix, radio edit and instrumental

[Harondor]

They just added Princess of China single in the recordings section. With the Invisible Man remix

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Biggest Bullshit ever to release only digital downloads !!!:angry::angry::angry:
Am really pissed of that...sorry

[Tash]

[Cheese Nip 2]

A lot of singles in just one year. Hopefully they release an EP or some stand alone singles later or we may have to wait like 3 years for new Coldplay stuff....:cry:

[Rainystrawberry]

I think the invisible man remix is actually good, maybe better than the original IMO , Chris voice is really good

[Ouch]

I think the invisible man remix is actually good, maybe better than the original IMO , Chris voice is really good

Agreed. It's not AT ALL horrible.

[willcamel]

it just said on radio 2 that they played princess of china (acoustic version), didn't get to hear it though :cry: hopefully it'll be on iplayer soon :inquisitive:

[willcamel]

it sounds amazing, nuff said

Sounds Good!

[AmbroseCadwell]

BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.
THIS SHOULD HAVE COME AFTER UFO. :O
And then Up In Flames.
It would've been, like, the quiet before the storming of DLIBYH! :L

[Juanma]

Amazing !! Already love The New version. Need New songs :p

[golfing7861]

Acoustic sounds a million times better!

[Prospector]

I like the acoustic arrangement, I would like a different recording of the vocals along, they seem too loud with the more quite guitars, but is still nice.

[The Red Army]

This version is so much better, I actually somewhat enjoy the song now.

[Cheese Nip 2]

After only one listen I think I can say that I absolutely agree with you :)

Great job guys! :thumbsup:

[Arantza]

It sounds 10000x better! I like it! :D

[Prospector]

I don't think it's better, the original is much more powerful, and the only "not that good" thing on the original is still on this versio, Rihanna's vocals.

[DundahMifflin]

I really like that.

[harrisonrules]

sounds so awesome! i love it!

oh snap this is the way they played it at the grammys no wonder i like it... except for rhianna..

[MorningGlory]

Yeah!! acoustic P.O.C is so much better then the original one!

[rafaelchampion]

I gave up... My network doesn't want to help me...

[Nattatouille]

The acoustic version is so much better.

Why did they overproduce it?

[hps]

The acoustic version is so much better.

Why did they overproduce it?

For money :thinking:

[Nattatouille]

For money :thinking:

Maybe. But I feel like although the overproduced version would do better in the chart-- surely they could see that the untampered version sounded better? Success vs. music itself-- I'd chose the music.

[HesterJulia#42]

I really like this version!
Thank you so much for uploading!

[hps]

the overproduced version would do better in the chart

better in the chart = more money :)

[2GreenEyes]

I like the acoustic version, but as to why choose the "overproduced" version, I actually like that version better, love the power of that version and that version goes better with rihanna's voice, the tempo of the song and with the lyrics imo and I think it fits better in the story on the album, especially because it's between two very quiet songs.
So about the discussion of them choosing money over music, it IS a possibility that they actually thought the "overproduced" version is better or at least fits better on the album in this way.

[Yu-tong]

It makes me remember the show at Grammy Awards. But this is better. Love it. :)

[42JTR]

f*cking awesome!:D

[Blue Nails]

I think this 'acoustic' version is also very 'produced'. The vocals are exactly the same as the album version.
I sort of like it though. :shrug:

[m@r@]

Thank you so much for the upload. :)

That version is so much better :awesome:

[pansonic]

Great version...has this unmistakable Coldplay pleasant sadness to it...

[tom043]

Damn it !! I was hoping for a Chris only version so much !! It's very good though but it should lack rihanna

[S.@.m.]

The live version from Rock im Park is still the best.
I can't believe this was a year ago :stunned:
Miller records everything so why they don't give us the live version without Rihanna?

EDIT: The acoustic version is satisfying me though.

Dear God . . . this doesn't even sound like the same song! Why the heck did the guys use that overproduced scrap of dirt over this version? The instrumentation even partially makes up for the bad lyrics!

I just . . . wat

Although I wish they had re-recorded the vocals (with or without Rihanna . . . preferably without), because the effects don't sound quite right with an acoustic soundscape.

Damn, that acoustic record had so much potential.

too right! just imagine what a masterpiece this album would have turned out to be if it wasn't so overproduced and at times pretentious.

never thought i would love PoC one day, but god the acoustic sounds incredible. i don't particularly like rihanna either but lets admit she does have the voice and on this quieter version with chris and his guitar...pretty darn good
