Right then, given the change in the UK chart last year, where any song which has been legally downloaded can be entered into the charts, I think its time people start putting bets on where the two tracks, Violet Hill and Viva La Vida will chart. I'm guessing they'll be top 20 at least, given their ridiculously high placings on iTunes all week :D

 

For fairness, we'll go with the Radio1 Official Chart, as there are several slightly different charts in the UK.

 

This thread is for Viva la Vida only...

It wont be number 1 for sure. Its #4 on Itune's. Will make top 20 I think at #17. Will proberly go higher if it got radio play.

Definitely it won't be No. 1. There's no physical CD yet. And Coldplay's previously didn't perform THAT strong either.

 

Btw, UK Singles Chart started to count airplay? I thought it's only sales.

There are 2 charts in the UK, I think the main one on Radio 1 doesn't include airplay, but the unofficial one on Commercial Radio does include airplay. But don't hold me to that...

:dozey: I voted before seeing that it was only for the SONG Viva la Vida.. so I voted number1..

well, it's the least I can hope for them !

Hey people!

 

According to wikipedia, VH is #1 and VLV is #3 in the UK. Good news, BUT wikipedia is NOT reliable...

I don't think they announce the number 1 until about 7. So wikipedia lies I'm afraid!

are there any references in the wikipedia article?

i think madonna is still number one

What happened :confused:, was it even in the top 40?

i'm listening right now.. i should tell ya in a few minutes

def 1

well i think that in the uk is not yet eligible for the single chart but it looks like it was first in italy and second in germany as wikipedia says

Yeah, I don't think it charted in the UK.

Maybe there is something about it being given away as a gift with the album pre-order which excluded it. But Violet Hill got number 8 :D

yeah.. i was "seeking" a top 5 honestly :D

The official Uk singles chart does not count airplay,

 

I would have a guess at the song reaching the 60s, max.

 

Gotta wait until the chart on http://theofficialcharts.com/index.php update, giving the top 100

eh, #3 for now because it's still way too early.

41 for #1 :o

Viva La Vida
