Comments

The release of Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is a huge event in the UK this week. Unfortunately, due to chart rules, the track "Viva La Vida" can't chart or it would most likely be near the top of the pop singles chart. The Fratellis have a strong top 5 debut with their second album Here We Stand.
