THAT IS WHAT THE WORLD'S BEEN WAITING FOR?

That'll cheer Coldplay up a little (or maybe not): X&Y is on course to be the biggest selling disappointing album in its first week since Be Here Now. We were delighted, by the way, to see nme.com suggesting that the battle for number one album this week was a three-cornered competition between the White Stripes, Coldplay and the Tears - as much as we love Bernard and Brett, somehow we couldn't see them beating the Martin Machine. Even if they added their sales to the White Stripes'. (In fact, Coldplay were outselling the rest of the top 20 combined yesterday.)

It's worth remembering that this album was leaked online. Doesn't seem to have harmed the sales any.
