Coldplay crack the Billboard Hot 100
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver June 19th, 2008

Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida', the title track of their new LP, has gone to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart stateside, the first time a UK group has reached the top spot in 11 years.

The album Viva La Vida... is the fastest-selling album of 2008 so far, currently at number one in the UK and nearing sales of half a million.

Viva La Vida, reviewed here, is released in the US this week. Will they lap it up like the UK has? Probs. Another notch: the album holds the record for the biggest number of iTunes pre-sales. Something to do with this advert?
