New single " A Sky Full Of Stars", produced by Avicii! This sounds like a very big hit to me.

It's very nice, if a tad generic. But that Avicii/Madge hook-up doesn't sound so wretched after all.

Anyone else listened to the new album? I can't quite believe how lacklustre it is. A serious dearth of quality tunes!

Coldplay's Ghost Stories on track for fastest-selling album of 2014

Coldplay are on course to claim the UK's fastest-selling album of the year so far with Ghost Stories.

The band's sixth album was released on Monday (May 19) and sold 82,000 copies on its first day in Britain alone.

Coldplay break Paolo Nutini's current record, with the Scottish singer selling nearly half the amount at 44,000 in one day.

Ghost Stories soared to number one in the iTunes charts in 72 countries across the globe on its release.

Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot said: "The arrival of any Coldplay album is always an event and Ghost Stories is no exception.

"To so comfortably achieve the biggest first day of any album is remarkable, especially after a three-year wait since their last album."

If Coldplay top this Sunday's Official Albums Chart it will mark their sixth number one album and maintain the band's record of each of their albums claiming the top spot.
