Exclusive: Bosses at Coldplays record label Capitol are baffled by frontman Chris Martin's claim the band is running a two-for-one promotion on its new album.
Chris Martin [pictured] told British newspaper the Daily Mirror the band wanted to encourage fans to pay for LP Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends, by offering a deal to those who download it online. He claimed that for every track that a fan downloads, they will get to choose another one free.
Martin told the newspaper, "Buy one get one free, it comes from working in Kwik Save (British budget supermarket), I think. As I said before nobody buys albums any more, certainly no body buys full albums and we've made an album that you have to have from start to finish."
But Capitol executives know nothing of the promotion. A high ranking boss tells WENN, "I checked with their (Coldplay's) management. This appears to be incorrect."
