As predicted, Coldplay’s Viva La Vida only needed three days to go platinum in the UK, guaranteeing the band a No. 1 spot on the country’s next album chart. While the staggering of release dates means that 2005’s X&Y will still be responsible for the band’s best opening-week sales, Viva La Vida is actually selling faster than its predecessor. At No. 2 on this week’s British chart? Neil Diamond, which is really the more remarkable achievement. [Billboard]
