October 26, 201114 yr Chris Martin and the gang’s fifth Capitol Records release, Mylo Xyloto, is set for a #1 US debut with sales of between 425-450k, based on one-day reports. I think this is low. Not even GOLD. Hopefully, MX has some staying power.
October 26, 201114 yr Chris Martin and the gang’s fifth Capitol Records release, Xylo Myloto, is set for a #1 debut on next week’s HITS chart with sales of between 425-450k, based on one-day reports from those music retailers And +220+/- in the UK... only 650-700K in the UK and US... VIVA did 721K only in the US +300 in the UK in first week... what happend to the albums dop sales, nobody's selling albums today except Adele.
October 26, 201114 yr Author I guess you can factor the economy into this as well though. People aren't spending as much money as they were in 2008... Plus the days of 1 million plus 1st week sales are gone.
October 26, 201114 yr Yh but viva la vida had an unbelievable single released at the same time as the album. Paradise isnt exactly an unbelievable song. Viva la vida was what made that album sell big in its first week
October 26, 201114 yr I guess you can factor the economy into this as well though. People aren't spending as much money as they were in 2008... Plus the days of 1 million plus 1st week sales are gone. Lil Wayne sold a million in his first week a couple months back But Coldplay will hit Platinum...doubt they will go mulit-platinum in the US though
October 26, 201114 yr http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles Paradise (finally eligible) at 12 on the UK Chart Update edit: Oh, and there is Princess Of China on 37!
October 27, 201114 yr Crazy seeing so many of the old albums in the top 10 as well, in most countries.
October 27, 201114 yr Crazy seeing so many of the old albums in the top 10 as well, in most countries. Between Viva La Vida (The song) and MX's more mainstream sound Coldplay has gained a lot of new fans. Edit: Sidenote, A Very She & Him Christmas is the #9 album overall. W00T!
October 27, 201114 yr Author Lil Wayne sold a million in his first week a couple months back But Coldplay will hit Platinum...doubt they will go mulit-platinum in the US though :shocked2: Really? I didn't think anyone could reach that milestone anymore, plus Billboard said that Coldplay are on track to have the biggest 1st week numbers since Lady Gaga in May, so that doesn't make sense! :confused:

October 27, 201114 yr Author I might be wrong, but i think thats only in the uk where they are set to get the biggest 1st week sales since may :lol: oh ok, maybe I got my news confused then! :facepalm:
November 1, 201114 yr I don't see why it matters. I don't care how many they sell. I just like to listen :dance:
