Mediatraffic? An unofficial worldwide chart? It's not THAT reliable. Music Week Articles (OFFICIAL UK SALES) Charts quiver as albums and singles head in opposite directions 10:38 | Monday June 16, 2008 By Alan Jones In a week of contrasting fortunes, singles sales slide to a 2008 low, while album sales rocket to their highest level of the year. Helped by new releases by Coldplay and The Fratellis and the approach of Father’s Day, album sales increased for the fifth week in a row, growing a massive 35.6% to 2,810,459. Not released until Thursday, Coldplay’s eagerly-awaited third album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends scorched to number one with 72-hour sales of 302,074, cornering a 10.75% share of the market. http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1034568 Coldplay living La Viva Loca 11:00 | Monday June 23, 2008 By Alan Jones Although understandably unable to maintain the hectic sales pace it set on its first three days in the shops, Coldplay’s Viva La Vida, Or Death And All His Friends sold a further 197,978 copies last week to surge past the half million sales mark in just 10 days - Viva La Vida… has sold 500,052 copies so far. http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=22&storycode=1034633 Coldplay make it third week at one 09:20 | Monday June 30, 2008 By Alan Jones Coldplay’s Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends tops the albums chart for the third straight week, with sales of 109,553 taking its 17-day career haul to 609,605. http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=22&storycode=1034706 Coldplay equal best albums run at one 11:17 | Monday July 7, 2008 By Alan Jones Coldplay’s Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends makes another big (46.6%) dip in sales but still has enough power to easily chalk up another week at the top of the artist albums chart, with sales of 58,509 being more than its two closest challengers – Duffy’s Rockferry (35,683) and Chris Brown’s Exclusive (18,157) combined. Viva La Vida has now been number one for four weeks, equalling Coldplay’s personal record, as set by their last album, X&Y. At that stage of its life, X&Y had sold 907,240 copies, while Viva La Vida has sold 668,114 copies. http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1034774&c=3 Coldplay number one again in static top three 10:00 | Monday July 14, 2008 By Alan Jones In a frozen top three, Coldplay’s Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends is the number one again yet again, with sales of 40,111 providing it with a comfortable cushion over Duffy’s Rockferry. http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1034831&c=3 #1 302,074 #1 197,178 #1 109,533 #1 58,509 #1 40,111 708,225 copies for sure.
