September 2, 200817 yr It would be great if they`d win "Best Album" or "Best Band", but honestly I don`t think so :/ Most people today don`t have a good taste for music...

September 2, 200817 yr Newsreel: Coldplay up for several Q Awards September 2, 2008 12:44 pm They're in the running for four gongs Good afternoon. It has just been announced that Coldplay have been shortlisted for four of this year's Q Awards. The band are up for best track and best video (both for Violet Hill), plus best album and best act in the world today. It's not clear whether "today" means today (September 2nd) or the day that the awards are to be presented at a swanky ceremony in London (October 6th). If you'd like to vote for Coldplay (or, indeed, another act) to win any of the awards, click here to head over to Q's site. If you vote, you'll also be entered into a draw to win tickets to the ceremony. Anchorman
