How you rated Coldplay's new songs: Charlie Brown clear favourite

Earlier this week we asked you which of Coldplay's new songs you thought was your favourite. After approximately 2100 votes on the main site and another 250 on the forums you have voted Charlie Brown as the clear favourite so far, will almost 40% of the votes. The new single, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall has received an average of just 10% of the total cast, despite notching up 4,000,000+ viewings on YouTube via ColdplayTV in its first week.

Major Minus and Hurts Like Heaven are currently in 2nd and 3rd positions respectively. Us Against The World has actually received less total votes than ETIAW despite being positively received amongst Coldplay fans. Princess Of China has understandably received the least number of votes because a decent video recording of the song has not yet been found; it was not played at the streamed Rock am Ring festival last week.

See the poll results so far, and your comments on whether Major Minus will eventually be the title of the new album...

Forum members' poll:

Well, it's simple: I wouldn't mind that "Major Minus" was the album title, I like it, but I still think that "MX" is the chosen one. Why? Don't you see it in the Coldplay website? The news section... "MX" is written in the front of the newspaper, it's almost obvious! So I still bet for "MX" for now, and that's why I voted NO, but I was tempted for I DON'T KNOW too... [thanks The envoy]

It's a better title and less of a mouthful than "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends". So I would approve of "Major Minus", especially if they're going the continued path of naming the album after one its songs. Because let's be honest - the other song names so far are awful. [thanks Corkus]

I still think that, despite nice, Major Minus is a little too depreciative name for an album title (let's not forget they are really trying to sell it also to not-fans), and I (stupidly, maybe) insist that it has something to do with MX. Major Minus is too explicit. Why would they name a song/keyboard introduction "MX", without anything else? Maybe they can use the "Major Minus" as part of the album, idk, "mythology". Anyway, this album they're stretching the mystery with riddles, and random lyrics for songs' releases and everything. Something, because of this attitude, leads me to believe that we still don't know the song that will name the album. But it will be epic, that's for sure. [thanks erik_avilez]

Well, considering what Chris said about the title being two words starting with "M" and the fact that there's always been a track with the name of the album I think it's quite likely! Sounds better than Monday Morning in any case! [thanks laga]

I wouldn't mind Major Minus I guess. But I still voted no. I've always liked Alien Radio... I also noticed that on Guy's jacket during the Rock am Ring festival, it looked like there was some kind of radio tower or something. I hope Alien Radio is used some how. [thanks rainplay]

I think it will be... And I'm kinda expecting the walking man guy from the live shows and that weird video to be the front cover. Just an image of that against black, with the band name and album title above it in red or something. Simple but slick and cool, points them in a new, striking direction. I at least expect the walking man to be linked to the artwork/theme of the album in some way. But yeah, Major Minus for the album title. [thanks TwistedPolitik]

I think it's very likely. Considering Chris said the title would probably be two words and have the letter 'M', I think a new track by the name of Major Minus is too big a coincidence to be accidental. The more I think about it, the more it sounds like it could be a really good title. [thanks ReecyBoy42]

I wasn't sure what i thought about the song live but that's always hard to tell at first. i'd prefer if this wasn't the album title. it doesn't seem like a great one. obviously, album titles aren't that important though. none of their others beside vlvadaahf are incredible to me. i like arobtth. BUT if this is the album title and the songs we've been presented with are supposed to be their aces, i'm kind of disappointed at all this UFO type stuff because it really seems like it has absolutely nothing to do with the album. i realized when we first started seeing things that coldplay don't really incorporate themes that thoroughly, but so far i've not gotten any indication from any of the songs that ufo's or any of that is at all factored in. which i have to say is kind of disappointing. it doesn't have to take away from anything, but i'd hoped it'd all make more sense together. [thanks footyfan10]

I'm not sure about how I feel if "Major Minus" is the album title, spending 3 years on an album and that's the best they can come up with..? I don't feel like it's that catchy, but it's definitely better than anything else rumored so far. [thanks toddbluezoo]
