Mackplay Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 According to Billboard magazine, Princess Of China is the next Coldplay single and it will be officially released on October 25th. http://www.billboard.com/#/news/coldplay-s-paradise-video-stars-globe-trotting-1005422552.story Coldplay's just-released video for "Paradise," the second single off "Mylo Xyloto," is a pachyderm-filled romp involving a fugitive elephant on a worldwide quest to form a like-species rock band. We guess. Let's see, it starts with "Chris Martin" busting out of a London zoo and stowing away on a flight to South Africa. There, the ambitious elephant gets himself a unicycle and rides out to find three bros already practicing some deep cuts. "Chris" takes over lead vox and following a brief rehearsal process, the pachy-band are then transformed to a packed arena where they perform for an adoring crowd. It's unclear whether that's really Martin and his bandmates in the furry suits during the Africa scenes, but it's safe to assume that's them during the live set. And that unicycling elephant who takes his head off on a unicyle? That sure looks like Martin (see photo). It's light, it's silly, it's cinematic and it comes the same week their intense collaboration with Rihanna, "Princess of China," was leaked on the web. That song will be released as a single on Oct. 25. "Paradise" and "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall," the album's first two singles, have sold a combined 1.14 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Aside from all the song releases and leaks, Coldplay will also be busy on the TV circuit. They'll appear on "The Colbert Report" on Thursday, "The Today Show" on Friday and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Oct. 27. On Nov. 12, they'll return to "Saturday Night Live."

Mackplay Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think this is a big FU to Paradise which is still climbing the charts. And for God's sake, the video was just released last night. It's way too early for a third single. They should have waited until December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42rock89 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Its going to be basically forced to be the next single once the album is released because it will rise up the charts anyway, may even get to number 1, I think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notlost92 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 What an odd choice. Obviously it's RADIO-friendly, but they can't promote it LIVE without her... how are they supposed to promote it on TV show performances, etc? The Oracle said that they only played it live once because they didn't like how it sounded without Rihanna. So how is this going to work? :huh: I also just don't understand WHY they're ignoring Charlie Brown. All of the reviews are singling it out as a standout track, it sounds killer live... why aren't they making it a single?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Army Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 they are just going with the moment....PoC has a lot of buzz right now, so releasing it as a single makes sense With Charlie Brown, they can release that in about 2-3 months time and since its amazing, it will stand out on its own and further keep the band, and album, in the spotlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey, how come we never got a b-side for Paradise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm getting tired of seeing how much they seem to be trying to sell more and more and stopped worrying about the music. I like PoC, I enjoy it but also think that they just picked it because it will probably give them another #1 single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 They could have saved their... new reputation if they didn't make POC a single, but I guess it's inevitable... I just want Charlie first. :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still havent recovered from the fact that they've chosed Paradise first, now they do this! And so early? Anyways, I choose not to believe this until I see an official anoucement.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds original and it should do well on the Radio (not to mention RiRi's on there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be released as a single fortunately and unfortunately for some. Get used to it because that inevitable Grammy performance of the song with Rihanna is going to happen.
