As revealed in the upcoming playlist for next week, courtesy of Buzzjack.
As expected, A Sky Full of Stars has been Coldplay's biggest hit from Ghost Stories so far on worldwide radio. Will True Love better the 2nd single within the world of the charts? Being a polar opposite to the popular EDM influenced track suggests it won't but the 'unconventional' single may surprise a few. We will see over the coming weeks and the upcoming acrobat inspired official video will have a large say!

New ASFOS advert
Continuing with the BBC link, the British broadcasters have released a very interesting advert/commercial involving A Sky Full of Stars and Chris Evans (unconvincingly) humming the upbeat song to the puzzled expressions of his colleagues. Mr Jools Holland eventually made sense of it and the BBC dropped a new plug to Coldplay's uplifting anthem. (thanks to our mod, Black Rose)

That's not the only time Mr Evans has been featured on such an ad. The other Chris has previously attempted Trouble on the piano on a BBC Radio 2 advert!
The other obvious link is Fearne Cotton who interviewed the whole band for the Making of Ghost Stories on Sky Arts in the UK. Watch the two parts if you haven't already, here : Part 1 and Part 2.
