An interesting article courtesy of the bloggers at UK's Guardian newspaper:
We knew Coldplay were popular, but did we know they were this popular? Amazingly, their latest album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, has been the number one-selling album in an astonishing 36 countries. Are there any nations left untouched by Chris Martin's gang?
There are some other staggering statistics bubbling away. Viva La Vida set the record for the highest first week sales ever on iTunes around the world. It was the biggest album, pre-order, in iTunes' history. It is the biggest selling digital album ever in the USA. "Enough!" I hear you cry, possibly. "We can't take any more." If so, what we want to know is whether you are alone in resisting Coldplay's march towards world domination.
Thirty-six countries is not - yet - every territory in the world, which got us thinking: is there any country in the world which is proving particularly, annoyingly resistant to the Coldplay massive? Are they struggling for sales in Iceland? Do they not rock Argentina? Are they struggling to sell their soul in Seoul?
