Coldplay's new album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends will be beamed through space on Friday (13Jun08) when satellite radio network Sirius plays the album in its entirety as part of its Alt Nation show.
Coldplay bandmembers will introduce each song on the eagerly anticipated new album, which hits stores on 17 June (08), as part of the show, which will be renamed Coldplay Nation for the day. The bandmates will also play songs by artists who have inspired them.
Meanwhile back on planet Earth, UK high streets to be exact, Woolworths’ download store is to sell the new Coldplay album for under £5, in a move that it admits could spark a price war among retailers. Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends goes on sales globally today and Woolworthsdownload.co.uk is to offer the album for just £4.97 to the first 5,000 customers. Woolworths sees the offer as important publicity for its new store, which launched at the end of May. However, it admits that with its price likely to be £2 cheaper than other UK download stores, it may spark a price war.
