Mackplay Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 WOW they are really promoting the hell out of this album. I love it. Just yesterday, I heard a commercial on KIIS about the release on Oct. 24. I don't want nothing less than 1 million copies sold in the first week.

MaxRide Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Wow, that's a lot of publicity! :stunned: ...Although I don't know if I'm getting any CBS channels, since I live an hour away from Philadelphia in the suburbs. :cry: On another note, keeping all of Coldplay's public appearances (Colbert Report, Red Bull concert, etc.) straight is getting really difficult! If nobody's going to put it on the calendar, can someone compile all the known and rumoured dates? Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to do that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This sounds really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotrobsessed101 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This is cool! I like the sound of the one where they are guest hosting and playing some of their favorite songs and some of their favorite band's songs. Does anybody know what CBS radio station to tune in to listen in Dallas? It's either 100.3 Jack FM, 103.7 Lite FM, or 98.7 KLUV. The other three CBS radio stations for the metroplex are sports, talk radio, and spanish music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplaymom Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 What time is the acoustic sunrise? Usually 7-11a but you have to check your own station to see when Coldplay will be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Jonny and Chris presenting a radio show?!!! About time! Coldplay are doing what U2 joked they were going to do in the early 90s with ZooTV - take over the media! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeah, they're definitely taking over, it's kind of ridiculous, but at least it's all so far in venues that musicians do all the time. I don't think musicians do ALL of them like Coldplay's doing, but at least they're not going on completely random shows that have nothing to do with music yet or anything. But I do feel like there's a balance between too much promo and too little, and I hope they don't tip too far over onto the "too much" side for their sakes. I feel like they're already so well known that they don't need to push it in everyones' faces so much that they've got a new album coming out. Oh, Dave Holmes.

No Chris Martin appearing randomely on a cheap, cheesy British sitcom promoting his band's album just yet. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplay are doing what U2 joked they were going to do in the early 90s with ZooTV - take over the media! Chris has taken over our local alternative rock radio station 99X here in Atlanta as well as the Steve Lamacq BBC show. He and Simon Pegg also took over the Zane Lowe program on BBC. Chris, Jonny, & Guy hosted some XFM radio program as well for 4 weekends in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever heard Chris and Jonny on Loveline with Dr. Drew when promoting ROBTTH? The whole thing was sad and hilarious at the same time.
