Washington, D.C., June 24, 2008 – GRAMMY® Award-winning band Coldplay will have a dedicated channel on XM Radio, it was announced today.

 

Beginning July 15, the month-long channel, "30 Days of Coldplay" (XM 51), will provide fans with music from the Coldplay catalog, including import-only released tracks and other hard-to-find recordings and tracks from their new album, an uncut, exclusive concert broadcast from the Viva La Vida North American Tour, plus other live performances, interviews and more. Viva La Vida, the band’s fifth full-length album was released in the U.S. last week and holds the record for the biggest number of pre-sales on iTunes.

After surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest bands of the new millennium.

 

Parachutes went multi-platinum and earned the band their first Grammy. In 2002, Coldplay released sophomore album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, winning Grammy Awards for "Clocks" and "In My Place."

We are going to need some hardcore rippers to record the whole month's worth of stuff they're going to broadcast :P

Finally something decent will get played on XM radio...I knew I was paying for it all this time for something!:D

It's satellite radio...like sirius..its a service...regular radio is free;)

they have an online version as well...free if you're already a subscriber to the service, but it looks like they have FREE trial. So I'm thinking come July 15th, I'll become interested in trying that out.:wink3:

It just means the shows are in full and not edited in any way.

Ah ok...great!
