February 3rd? :surprised:

Did they release it and forget to tell us?

I think you're wrong, just compare Charlie Brown with ETIAW. The release of ETIAW was on 3 June 2012 and the video release was on 29 June 2012. The release date for ETIAW on Coldplay.com is 3 June 2012.

 

Hmm, your possibly right.

 

I just don't see how they could release it without any announcement either from their twitter or via their news bulletin on their website.

 

Some other sites (albeit, not sure how 'trustworthy' they are) said it was to be released mid-march and that turned out to be confusing as well.

 

If that really is the release date (Feb. 3rd), then its kind of disappointing. I feel like CB deserves a little bit more than that.

 

OMG WHEN DID THAT APPEAR ?!

 

 

UGH! SO IT WAS RELEASED AND THEY DON'T PROMOTE IT (as much as it deserves) ?!

UGH I AM SOOOO MAD AT THEM RIGHT NOW!! :veryangry:

 

BAD BAD BAD COLDPLAY!!!!:whip:

 

edit: I AM ACTUALLY FURIOUS!!!!! UGH!!! :bomb:

I can't believe they would do that! WHY ?! WHY?! :(

CB deserved to be a huge hit, now it's just falling down in the charts, because they don't promote it enough!

OMG WHEN DID THAT APPEAR ?!

 

I'm not sure, I think since this week.

I was on there A LOT yesterday and I didn't even noticed it :facepalm::shame:

Maybe whoever's in charge of updating the site (Anchorman?) came on here and saw how confused everyone was, and then added it to the site? But then there would surely be some kind of announcement or something :confused:

Well I think we're not the only ones confused, and since it's not doing well when it should be (not saying that only because I love the song, I just see the potential here, I mean, you just have to listen to it once to know it should be a hit, it's like a summer anthem kind of song, you know ?), someone, as you said, must have added it to make it clear.

Also, there could be 2 explanations: 1. They thought they made it clear when they released the video. (though they didn't say anything at the time about the release so...)

2. They hadn't decide yet, and they finally decided on what to do with CB/PoC not long ago. That rumor about PoC released in June seems even more accurate now, there would be a 4 months gap between the 2.

 

Anyway I'm VERY VERY MAD because it should have been the summer anthem, or a huge hit or whatever it is called. It's like it's made for that. But it probably won't.

I don't understand this decision.

 

And now I can't concentrate on very important homework, which makes me even more mad!!!:veryangry:

Chill. :snobby: It's not about the promotion. Adele was absent for almost a year and her albums and singles have been insanely successful.

 

To be honest, when I first heard the song (at Letterman) I was utterly unimpressed for some reason. Later on I fell in love with it. Combine that with a mediocre video and there's your answer.

I'm still mad :snobby:

CHART UPDATE (28/3) - CB remains at #26. Paradise goes down 1 to #38.

 

The third singles from Coldplay albums don't tend to be promoted much, probably because EMI/Parlophone believe that everyone who wanted to hear the single would have got the album already.

 

Paradise did so well because it was the song that was promoting the album. If CB took its place, I'm sure it would have been a big hit.

 

On the plus side, at least CB is doing better in the charts than Lost/Lovers in Japan did back in the Viva era :D

Then they should have chosen CB to promote the album :snobby:

Then they should have chosen CB to promote the album :snobby:

 

Yes :snobby:

Then they should have chosen CB to promote the album :snobby:

 

Maybe... but they made their own decision, and it paid off for them. Paradise is their biggest single yet.

 

Perhaps they'll promote it more during the summer tour. Everyone calls it a summer anthem, so why not? Although I have a feeling that may not work due to the release of the video, as well as it charting now.

For LP6, Coldplay should hand over all control of their promo and marketing to us Coldplayers. We obviously know what is best for them ;)

On the plus side, at least CB is doing better in the charts than Lost/Lovers in Japan did back in the Viva era :D

 

:nod: I'm happy with that, it's just enough for everyone getting to konw this wonderful song, maybe if it was release as the second single it could have done better, but whatever...

 

PS: there's always a chance of glee covering the song and making it go straight to number 1 :p

Still mad :snobby:

I'm still mad :snobby:

Still mad :snobby:

 

How can you stay mad at this face? Seriously? :sad:

Dazzling hair :dazzled:

Dazzling chin! :dazzled:

Dazzling over all look & expression on his face :dazzled:

 

Dazzling Chris is dazzling :nod::dazzled:

/end of celebration/fangirling post, you can now go back to your regular activities. And clean your desk of the drool. :|

:dazzled: :botoxlips: :hug: :kiss: :dazzled:

Fiesta!!! :dance::dance:

 

:vuvuzela:

 

Hopefully we shall celebrate like this when CB becomes #1. :worried:

^:awesome:

:hug::kiss::dance::dance:

 

Yes we will :snobby:

I think this thread has officially been hijacked :p

Charlie Brown at #33 (last week #26)

Paradise at #40 (last week #37)

 

MX at #7 (last week also at #7)

 

This is for UK Singles and Albums Chart.

 

So, CB falls probably due to a lack of any promo (and/or an official release?). Paradise falls, but that's fine (it did its job).

 

They've been discounting and promoting the album, so the album sales are stable. That's good.

CB 33 is not good, I was hoping it would stay forever around 25, like Paradis on the US is always between 32 and 38.

 

(still secretly waiting for glee to cover it just to make it number 1)
