HMV Canada: "Viva La Vida" Tops CD Sales List

Coldplay are still number one on Canada's album charts with Viva La Vida Or Death And All HIs Friends. HMV said it also expects U2’s remastered first three albums to knock “young” pretenders Coldplay off the number one spot worldwide after tomorrow’s release of the “new” editions. Boy, October and War have all been remastered from the original analogue tapes.

The Canadian top 5 is as follows:

1 Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends - Coldplay

2 Nas - Nas

3 One of the Boys - Katy Perry

4 Tha Carter III - Lil Wayne

5 Lost in the 80s - The Lost FingersHere’s a tip: Dredge up some work you did in the early days, add a few new sleeve notes and photos, and bang it out to the shops for those fans who just have to have every-thing you’ve ever released. Almost three decades after breaking into the music-buying consciousness, U2 still have that chart-topping wherewithal. And this time they didn’t even have to make any new music.
