March 12, 200818 yr All three Coldplay albums are featured in the UK's top 20 biggest selling albums of the 21st century. A Rush Of Blood To The Head is 7th, X&Y is 9th, and Parachutes is 12th. The blurb is as follows: 7 A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD – COLDPLAY Coldplay’s 2000 debut Parachutes was one of the most impressive ever, spinning off the hits Shiver, Yellow and Trouble, and selling nearly 2.4m copies. The anticipation of follow-up A Rush Of Blood To The Head was intensified by the enormous popularity of first single In My Place, which reached number two. The album duly raced to first week sales of 273,924. With subsequent single The Scientist and Clocks also reaching the Top 10, the album spent more than a year in the Top 40, and has accumulated sales of 2,638,927, including 9,683 this year. 9 X&Y – COLDPLAY Just as In My Place set the pace for A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Speed Of Sound was the first single from Coldplay’s follow-up album, X&Y, and also raced to number two. Although the band’s two previous albums selling 5m copies between them, it was still something of a surprise that X&Y scorched to the second highest first week sales in history to that point, selling a stellar 464,471 copies to debut emphatically at number one in June 2003. Number one for four weeks, it has now sold 2,473,433 copies, 17,511 of them this year. 12 PARACHUTES - COLDPLAY 2,385,676 http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=22&storycode=1033488&c=3
March 12, 200818 yr it will be in between a rush of blood and x& y. i'd say higher, but i think less albums are going to be bought as time continues with downloading
March 12, 200818 yr More than X&Y, less than AROBTTH. It'll probably go down with the critics better than X&Y did but I don't think it'll do as well as AROBTTH, that's like a proper 21st century classic.
March 13, 200818 yr I say more than AROBTTH because coldplay's popularity has grown even more and I think this will be a better album than X&Y. On the other hand, album sales might drop considerably due to growing trends in mp3 downloads as opposed to album purchases.
March 14, 200818 yr I dunno, X&Y got them a crapload of fans, but Coldplay said "not everyone will like it"... then again not everyone liked their previous albums either. I'm going for higher than AROBTTH. Just because.
March 14, 200818 yr Higher than AROBTTH. This will be their best album ever, but then again classic albums are known to sell millions and millions and AROBTTH did sell a consideral amount of albums. And it will continue to grow so mabye below.
March 14, 200818 yr In between AROBTTH and X&Y, just because i'd like to be nicely surprised if they ever do more than AROBTTH :cool:
March 14, 200818 yr Ahm I'm amazed Is not Oasis in the top? I thought people from UK love them lots! Well, anyways, I'm really proud Coldplay is there... but I can't believe the number 1!!! Greetings!!!
