Toronto Unplugged

Coldplay Sell Records…Period

by Mike on June 30th, 2008

Coldplay Picture

In an overall slumping time for record sales, Coldplay has shown that it can still be done - you just need to be a global musical power.

Since this album’s launch it seems to be available for purchase everywhere - at the cash of the pharmacy, grocery store, coffee shop…etc. This is smart, but also a luxury that only the biggest bands have. The marketing costs a fortune but…

This marks the first time since March 2005 that the Billboard 200 was led by a 700,000-plus sum in consecutive weeks. The last occasion happened when 50 Cent’s “The Massacre” sold 1.1 million in its first frame, then 771,000 in its second.

The band’s “Viva” goes No. 1 in 18 of the global territories tracked by Billboard. With 15 of those aces notched in Europe, the set also leads the Euro Albums chart.

Coldplay will visit Toronto on July 30th and July 31st playing the ACC
