Viva La Vida picks up award

Good afternoon. At today's Ivor Novello awards in London, Viva La Vida won the award for Best Selling British Song. The Ivor Novellos honour "excellence in British music writing", so it's a welcome addition to the band's collective mantelpiece. The award was collected on behalf of Coldplay by their long-standing publisher and friend, Caroline Elleray. Click here for the full list of winners.

Down with Duffy, no repeat of The Brits please

Nice :cool:

I hope they win. They do deserve it

Funnily enough I own all three albums that are up for the Album Award.

 

In saying that, VLVODAAHF and Rockferry are in a completely different league compared to We Started Nothing.

 

I do feel that Coldplay are most deserving of the award though.

I own almost ALL of those! :) Rockferry, Age of the Understatement, Seldom Seen Kid, and Viva La Vida.

They are the best band ever, they must win!!!!!!!;)

You can never have too many awards, eh, boys?

 

I hope Elbow racks up a few also!

woohoo!

win, win, win!

Agree with Mich, hopefully no repeat of the Brits. They really deserve to win.

 

Good luck boys :nice:

A host of other awards, including Best Film Soundtrack, will be handed out on the night of the ceremony on May 21.

 

They won't be there, then, cause they'll be HERE- my concert's that night! :dance: Teehee :D

 

Anywayyy, congrats boys! I always love it when they get nominated for songwriting, it feels like an "in your face" to the people who say that their songwriting is sub par :dozey:

You can never have too many awards, eh, boys?

 

I hope Elbow racks up a few also!

 

 

Yeahh! They should give a good lesson to Elbow this time!!!:)

 

I think @Most Performed Work@ is really should come to Coldplay! BEcause they trully were MOST in 2008!

And ignite your boney

And I will try to FIX YOU"
