In Italy, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends has climbed the top-selling album chart to No.2 and sales are expected to exceed 110,000 copies.
The single Viva La Vida certainly has led the album tracks thus far, with 3.921.000 copies - both CD and digital - (of which 2.106.434 in US, 35.000 in Australia). The song rules many charts (although the release dates back to the beginning of May).
It's now at No.12 in France (from No.11), No.6 in Principality of Monaco, and it climbed up three positions in Turkey (from No.20 to No.17) and Albania (from No.5 to No.2), four in Malaysia (from No.17 to No. 13), six in Paraguay (from No.30 to No.24). Moreover, Viva La Vida has even entered straight at No.29 in the Top 30 of French Polynesia. So, the countries enchanted by the melody of the title track of Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends are now 67.
It's worth noticing that the 'glow' of Violet Hill shows no signs of fading. The single, with 1.658.000 copies (and 2 millions of downloads from Coldplay.com), reached gold in Australia and goes very well in Paraguay, where it's the at No.10 in the top-selling singles chart.
