December 1, 200520 yr Article in today's Evening Standard (London newspaper), Page 19. Have typed out the interesting bits, missing out the very general stuff: "Coldplay have cemented their position as Britain's biggest band, with their album X&Y named the best of 2005. The recording, which went straight into number one in 28 countries and became the 2nd fastest selling album in British history after its release in June, was given by Q magazine. Runner-up was Demon Days by Gorillaz, teh second album from the cartoon hip hop group created by Damon Albarn of Blur. Kaiser Chiefs were third with their debut album, Employment, which has sold 2.5 million copies since March. .... (stuff about Kaiser Chiefs...) Fourth place went to Oasis's Don't Believe the Truth, which Q said was "their most vital since the Britpop glory days". In 5th place was I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by the little-known American band Bright Eyes. ...(more general stuff...) Meanwhile, teh Oasis return to form was confirmed with their single The Importance of Being Idle at the top of Q's 100 Greatest Tracks of the Year, which were voted for by the magazine's readers. The song topped the singles charts in August. Coldplay's Fix You was in 2nd place and the Kaiser Chief's took the third and fourth spots with I Predict a Riot and Oh My God respectively. The 50 Greatest Albums and 100 Greatest Tracks of The Year appear in January's Q magazine, out today." The photo is of Chris singing at a gig, with the caption "Number one: Chris Martin and Coldplay have cemented their position as Britain's best band, says Q Magazine". Phew - must learn to type faster! Excuse any typing mistakes! Best album of the year and 2nd best track - how good is that!! :)
