Coldplay entered the UK singles charts with their new festive track Christmas Lights, which landed at 18th place, following its release on iTunes last Wednesday. This chart position is based on digital sales only as there was no physical release available to buy. It is important to note that they broke the top 20 with only three full days of sales - a good result.
Meanwhile in the iTunes charts, Christmas Lights reached no.1 in Portugal, Spain, Finland and Greece so far, recording top ten positions in several other countries, including the UK and US. More discussion on the singles and iTunes charts at the Coldplay forum here onwards.
Contestants from the UK talent show The X Factor topped the singles charts for a second week running on Sunday, while festive music fans sent two classic Christmas hits back into the UK top 40. The charity single cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" by the X Factor Finalists 2010 shot to number one last week.
Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" led the seasonal favourites at number 22 in the singles chart, up from 48 last week. "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl charted at number 27.
