From the start, British rock band Coldplay has never suffered a cold season. Every time the band releases an album, it seems to be a great hit! The band’s fourth and latest album Viva La Vida is garnering recognition around the globe by being named as the No. 1 in The Billboard 200 Album Chart! In the first week of its release, over 720,000 copies were sold out. This sales record is spectacular. Viva La Vida’s sales record follows that of X&Y back in 2005 which also became number one with 737,000 copies sold in the first week.

Viva La Vida won’t be able to make this record if not for the massive marketing done.
There are free downloads, commercials, pre-orders, and music videos made for this album. And if you watched Grey’s Anatomy finale you probably heard one of the songs played there entitled "Death and All His Friends".

And it is not only in the U.S. where Coldplay’s latest album is number one. It also topped charts in Britain, Australia, Canada, Japan, France, and Germany! Talk about a smash hit!

Better grab a copy now while it’s hot!
