The Red Army

Rihanna's Twitter: “@RihannaDaily: "Princess of China" video to premiere this Thursday http://rihannadaily.com/?p=16135” saw it lastnight it's sick as fuck

For the Start time, I think Anchorman updated with the Curfew for each date as well. Seems to be 1 hour and 45 mins for each show. That's a bit longer than the current show which is 1 hour and 30ish mins. So, possibly it may be longer (?) or it might mean nothing at all.

I agree that the PoC remix was shit, but the CB remix (Dave Aude) was actually pretty good.

After the show in Madrid, iTunes Spain: #1: Mylo Xyloto #7: Viva la Vida #14: X&Y #16: Parachutes #26: A Rush of Blood to the Head lol, great effect the tour has on sales, especially in European countries and Australia.

I uploaded it on Youtube. Enjoy! (hope it works properly, first video I ever uploaded) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeCX8UiAIoM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeCX8UiAIoM[/ame]

Great version. I couldn't find it on youtube, but I found a torrent for it. It's out there.

PoC Chart Update! On the UK Singles Chart: #61 (last week it was #108) 6 weeks on the charts so far Source: http://www.officialcharts.com/singles-chart/ (Last I checked on the UK iTunes Chart it was #42, so it may increase a lot more next week)

From this Article: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10805151 "It does seem a little bit scary when you first look at it," guitarist Johnny Buckland told TimeOut this week. "But once you start doing it it's great because we genuinely love touring, traveling, and playing - you know, it's a good life." For the full interview with Buckland see TimeOut on Thursday. Looking forward to that.

Another Article: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/music/size-really-matters-for-coldplay/story-e6frexl9-1226353871437 Quotes from the Article: "The Australasian tour starts with a show in Auckland on November 10." "Sydney's Allianz Stadium on November 17." "A Coldplay presale for Visa card holders starts on May 17." "The band will only play east coast dates in Australia, which is set to disappoint fans in Adelaide and Perth. Their November schedule includes the possibility of second dates in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney depending on demand."

This song gets better every time I hear it. Truly underrated.

According to HDD, the US sales this week are: 9,037 (Up 45% from last week) That puts them at #48. Last week they were #65. So that boost basically came from American Idol.

The poster before me who quoted the sales used 'semana', basically meaning 'week'. When I started to post the sales updates, I used the same format. The site I use is http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm Mind you, that these are estimates as there are no 'official' worldwide album charts. It's the best site out there. There is one more, called musiccharts, but they tend to overestimate sales. Nothing geeky about it, I like following sales as well!

So no swearing for that concert then.

My guess is that it's PoC related

It was #65 in the US this past week, will be interesting to see how much American Idol bumps it up. On the Canadian Charts it jumped from #37-#22 after their 4 shows in Canada. Nice jump. It's back down to where it previously was now.

To be fair, I don`t think its in excess at all. (I think CP are fully aware of this as well) In their setlist of roughly 20 songs that they play, only: - MX/Hurts Like Heaven - Don't Let It Break Your Heart (may have lasers, don't recall) - Charlie Brown - Paradise - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 5 songs use the Xylobands and lasers. That's 25% of the concert and that's by no means excess. In all the reviews that I've read as well, they have said that the visuals are an accent to the music and don't take away from it. Also, all the reviews we have read from fellow coldplayers, I have yet to read one that comments on the visual effects being distracting (maybe there was one, but I havn't seen it). All in all, to each their own.

http://yfrog.com/n1wpnz Coldplay "Fight for Your Right (To Party)" Only 30 seconds of it though.

Mandy Moore ‏ @TheMandyMoore #Coldplay concert w @mojism and @rp1313 in a miss-snuggie. lol, i read somewhere that Robert Downey Jr. was there too. Not sure if that's true or not.

Saw this on another forum, not sure how 'true' or 'real' it is. Take it for what it is. Not sure where it came from either.

UATW, running to the C-stage

lol that fan must be thinking, "wtf?"

Did the setlist leak?
