I've previewed Coldplay's new #1 album to let you in on where it's going. While it's not really new, as is instantly noticeable in the chorus to "Up In Flames" which is in literally the same as several other Coldplay vocal melodies and even choruses, they do have some upbeat songs and some sure number ones so this album will continue to do well for at least a year. The first single 'Every Teardrop Is A waterfall' is not expected to hit number 1 but it may. This one is like chumming the waters to get the Coldplay fans back on the campaign trail for the band that touched them in the past. It should go to number 1 wherever Celtic music is appreciated as it has a strong helping of it. Clearly a song with Coldplay & Rihanna WILL be number 1 in a major big deal way, do I have to say anything else about it? Ok... It's called 'Princess of China' (number 1 song title if I ever heard one in 2011) and it has a much more contemporary pop sensibility than the rest of the album, whether you are into contemporary pop is another story but I will say that it is a really well done example of it. This one will have some serious legs on the charts because of the musical marriage of cross-genre number 1 selling artists, can you say promotional funds? Which will take us to summer 2012 where they will get a number 1 out of 'Paradise', unless they plan to release it 2nd (they do already have a version which is 1 second shorter and labeled 'Paradise - single' on itunes - but that may have no bearing on the official release date.) 'Major Minus sounds like it also has potential and that should go in a few places, tallying together with 'Every teardrop' to put up actual #1 numbers. Here we have a situation where I am pooling 2 lesser number 1s together and classing that with the other 2 bonafide number 1s for a grand total of 3 number one hits! Pretty good for the veteran band. But enough about Coldplay & Rihanna, check out my Zombie music video on youtube, zombies are huge right now, they are everywhere and in greater numbers at Halloween!:
