Coldplay could be heading for their first UK number one single, in just a few hours time.
Coldplay have stormed into first place with all four of their albums, but perhaps surprisingly they have never hit the top spot in the UK with a single. All that could change when the Official Charts Company announce the new top 40 tonight. You can listen to the countdown live on BBC Radio 1 which starts from 4pm BST (11am EST).
Even though the single is not physically in the shops yet, Viva La Vida - the title track from the band's new album, is being downloaded by large numbers of fans and has a real chance of making the top spot to give the band their first-ever UK number one single. Also battling for pole position are Closer by NeYo and Love Song by Sara Bareilles, as well as the current number one single Singin' In The Rain by Mint Royale.
Count the countdown down (if you know what I mean) with us here [thanks 42rock89]
