Yeah it's gonna be weird IMO cause Triple A can't play Lost and LIJ at the same time (esp. since they start to sound almost the same IMO near the end) Triple A stations usually have no reservations about playing two tracks at a time (esp. non-commercial stations). Back during the summer, we packeted Viva La Vida and Violet Hill when they blitzed us with those two singles. Lost! will start to die down in the coming weeks at Triple A, and I wouldn't be surprised if Coldplay pushed one more single, maybe Strawberry Swing, to the format. With Chris Martin repeatedly saying they want to remain ardently active touring and finalizing their follow-up record throughout 2009, I think it's inevitable we'll see as many as several more single releases in the months ahead ("Life In Technicolor II" has already been announced as a February 2009 release) If I were them, I'd go ahead and release "Glass Of Water" as an Alternative-only release (an accompanying video would be awesome as the lyrics are replete with imagery). Then, once "Lovers In Japan" achieves its full potential, "Life In Technicolor II" would get mainstream single treatment. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

They said they want to release the next album at the end of 2009 (4th Quarter?). Right`?

They said they want to release the next album at the end of 2009 (4th Quarter?). Right`? Correct. Chris Martin has said he has this sort of urgency in him to accomplish as much as he can and fulfill a series of deadlines before his 33rd birthday, because he believes that ones utmost artistic potential peaks at age 33 and then begins a gradual decline from there. So it seems he and the band are serious about releasing a follow-up less than two years after "Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends" was released. Sounds like they would have to return to the studio and record at least several new tracks, by the sound of it. I remember reading that "Lhuna" was originally intended to be featured on their fifth record, but as we now know it ended up being a charity release. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Top 20! :) Top 10 is possible, but I would be happy with a top 15 peak.
#22 on BDS/Billboard Triple A.

Well, "Life In Technicolor II" goes for adds to Alternative radio on February 2th, so I assume this won't be released there...

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends discography and formats so far...
"Violet Hill" - Primarily Alternative and Triple A, less on Hot AC
"Viva La Vida" - Various formats (CHR, Hot AC, Triple A, Alternative, AC)
"Lost" - Alternative, Triple A
"Lovers In Japan" - Triple A, Hot AC, less on CHR
"Life In Technicolor II" - Alternative, likely Triple A and maybe Hot AC (after Lovers In Japan peaks)

Did Violet Hill reach top 50 on Hot AC? Was it #1 on Triple A? If yes, how much time?

Did Violet Hill reach top 50 on Hot AC? Was it #1 on Triple A? If yes, how much time? I'm not sure if it made the Top 50, but it definitely missed the Top 40. "Violet Hill" spent one week at #1; temporarily besting Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart" before returning to #1 the following week. Coldplay have three consecutive #1 hits this album era on Triple A. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

"Life In Technicolor II" is already making a heavy impact on some international download charts as its official digital download single release is January 30th (February 2nd for the vinyl release)
It'll be interesting to see whether their label chooses to stand behind this single, or pull the plug and service "Life In Technicolor II" everywhere. I happen to think the latter sounds like a surefire hit much more than the former ("Lovers In Japan" sounds pretty, but I've never thought of it as that radio-friendly in that the song is anti-climatic and has a resignatory feel to it musically that doesn't really help in songs without stand-out hooks) but they should at least try and push for a Billboard Hot 100 charting.
Should they release "Life In Technicolor II" everywhere (which it would be ridiculous if they didn't) I think it could potentially be almost as big a hit as "Viva La Vida" on Hot AC, and also garner strong AC airplay. I even think another Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 is very likely, depending on how much it is promoted, as I happen to think it's more radio-friendly than anything off of "Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends".

Sincerely, Noah Eaton "Glass of Water" seems to be a fan favorite that might receive some affection from Triple A radio, if released as a single. The band has reportedly re-entered the studio with Brian Eno to hammer out more material, so I'll be interested to see if they prolong the VLV era until that release or if they'll allow for some digestion before cranking out more singles.

The band has reportedly re-entered the studio with Brian Eno to hammer out more material, so I'll be interested to see if they prolong the VLV era until that release or if they'll allow for some digestion before cranking out more singles. Yeah, I've argued in the Alternative forum that "Glass Of Water" should be released primarily on the Alternative format in that it has some real edge to it, with the explosive electric guitar-driven chorus and melodic, cascading verses adding another dimension to it. "Glass Of Water" is among the heaviest-sounding songs they've ever recorded (though still melodic enough to crossover) so to maintain their Alternative cred they should release that there (even though "Violet Hill" was certainly a smart lead release that impressed a lot of Alternative listeners who otherwise couldn't care less about Coldplay) * Two weeks is not a lot of time at all by Coldplay recording standards, even when they have claimed the next record is already half-written, so I can't see how they'll have their new album all ready and demoed by mid-February. In any case, they've repeatedly suggested their fifth studio album will precede their first Greatest Hits compilation, so if the band really wanted to record two or three new songs for such a compilation, I can see why it would only require two weeks to accomplish that.
