The re-mix with Jay-Z is quite disappointing... its like the same song until the rap part..

It's picking up quite a bit. I had thought earlier of ranking the singles, so I'll do that one now:
01. Clocks: A+ 02. Trouble: A 03. Violet Hill 04. Viva la Vida 05. The Scientist: A-[/color] 06. In My Place 07. Shiver 08. Talk 09. Lost! (at this point) 10. Yellow: B+ 11. The Hardest Part 12. Fix You: B 13. God Put a Smile Upon Your Face 14. Speed of Sound 15. Lovers in Japan: C+ 16. Moses
I believe "Don't Panic" was the international-only one.

15 13 COLDPLAY Lost! 876 780 96 3.783
Getting closer to the top 10 in Mediabase and the bullet is really solid!
Hope it can become their 4th top 5 on BB Modern Rock

I prefer the pop single "Lovers In Japan" to this, wish they sent that instead

iTunes Top 100 Songs:
70. Lost+ (With Jay-Z) - Coldplay
This may help Lost to improve its ridiculous low peak of #94 on Hot 100... (It entered at that position the week the album came out due to high digital downloads and re-entered two weeks ago, after the Lost EP release, at #95...It fell last week...I guess it will re-enter this or next week)
It's a shame it's already dead on Triple A and it's close to die on Alternative...Now that downloads are picking up!
It will almost certainly fail to reach the top 10 on Modern Rock :( This is a worldwide flop!
Didn't chart on Australia singles chart and peaked at #54 on Uk Singles Chart so far...

It was #58 yesterday!!
What happened?! :(
#12 on Modern Rock (for a second week)
Considering this will probably be its peak...
I'm disappointed! I expected this to go at least top 10...

Had they done so, it could've been scorching my personal chart like gangbusters all this time, instead of just now cracking the Top 10 in its 4th week on. But that's how it goes at the R. Kelly party...

Such a shame this isn't doing better, it really is their best song. But the fact that modern classics "Fix You" and "The Scientist" only peaked at #18 shows that it's actually quite an achievement.

From Tunelab
"Guitar Legend Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for plagiarizing one of his songs. Satriani’s copyright infringement suit, filed yesterday, claims Coldplay’s song 'Viva La Vida' incorporates 'substantial original portions' of his 2004 instrumental 'If I Could Fly.' You can check out a head to head comparison here. The 52-year-old is seeking a jury trial, damages and 'any and all profits' attributable to the alleged copyright infringement." Fast forward to about a minute into the video to get the gist of it.

129 56 COLDPLAY LOST! 22155 160 8534 171591
As expected digital downloads increased a lot this week and consequently Lost returned to the Hot 100 and reached a new peak at #87.

I've listened to that video a few times and I think it's mostly bull. I mean, yes, obviously that one chord progression is the same but I think after that both the solo and Martin's melody veer away from each other and it's noticeable, it's just that one progression that fools you into thinking they're the same, and honestly, you can't copyright a chord progression, can you? I know some indie band accused Coldplay of the same thing for largely the same reason. Honestly, I can't wait till someone catches heat for I-IV-V. That will be epic.

EDIT: Post 1,000 You can't, but you can copyright a melody. I was shocked to hear the similarities between Chris's vocal and Satriani's solo. But like you said, they veered apart. I don't think this was intentional. It sounds like one of those times when an artist hears a song, consciously forgets about it, and then comes up with a melody that he thinks is his own but it's really been locked away in the subconscious part of his mind. That said, the youtube link from that video led me to a cool video with Coldplay and Sum 41, "Pieces of the Scientist."

It's not dead at all! It seems that the spins loss was only due to thanksgiving! Top 10 on Modern Rock stills a possibility after all...

VLV becomes the first Coldplay album to contain 3 top 10 hits on Modern Rock! I won't ask for more...I don't think it will go higher than this...Top 10 is a good mark for a coldplay third single... :)

I doubt they will release a follow-up to Lost! It's hard to believe Speed of Sound only reached #5, Clocks only reached #9 and Fix You #18 :o :(

I'd release "Glass Of Water" separately to Alternative, if I were them. It has become an instant fan favorite, and has more muscle musically than most of their catalog. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Obviously I've owned this song since Viva la Vida came out last summer and it's been lodged in the bottom half of my Top 10 for the past two months, and elsewhere I recently mentioned how moving it was when it was used during an episode of American Idol I happened to catch, but I just happened to catch this song on Out of Order (for what is sure to be its last week) and god damn is this a glorious song.
It kinda makes me sick that my Alternative station couldn't be bothered to ever give this even one spin on their own. ("Violet Hill" received light rotation until "Viva la Vida" came out, which also received light to medium rotation for a little while and then it was pretty much understood my station was done promoting the album. Allegedly they play the Jay-Z remix on their HD station, but I wouldn't know about that...yet. Frankly, though, Jay's verse masks and ruins the guitar solo, which is a highlight.) Anyway, thanks a lot, assholes. This could've gone to #1 or 2 on my chart (and sooner than it even reached my Top 10) and been camping out there ever since.
Most of the time I can't stand when concert audiences decide to (or are instructed to) clap along to the beat of a song, but I reckon if someone's not inspired to emphatically clap along to this whole song when seeing Coldplay live, they'd kind of be a jerk. I'm not sure if Coldplay's ever been to St. Louis, though.

At the same time, however, I feel this was never pushed in earnest, given that the single reached its peak on the United Kingdom and Canada singles charts when the album was first released due to download hype, and didn't return to the charts afterwards. So I wonder if you could even consider this single a flop, and rather consider it a promotional disaster. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

So I wonder if you could even consider this single a flop, and rather consider it a promotional disaster. Not to mention they wasted its video with a live performance of the song. Interestingly enough, my secondary Alternative station (which I frustratingly can't pick up unless I'm in my car leaving town, and which I discovered had been resurrected from limbo much sooner than I ever could have expected) played "Lost!" while I was in the car this past week. So that coupled with the Out of Order spin the day before was good enough to shoot the song from #7 on my chart all the way to #1. And then I heard it in the car again yesterday, as I was driving back home, all but ensuring it at least a second week at #1. It's as if some celestial being took pity on me.

Oh yeah, this could had been huge with promotion, but the fact "Viva La Vida" was still charting high almost everywhere and receiving huge airplay certainly didn't help.

iTunes Top 100 Songs: 24. Lost+ (with Jay-Z) / Viva la Vida (Live At the 51st Grammy Awards) - Coldplay :o That is awesome, but digital songs won't go toward any of those two songs! :( Lost! could reach top 75 on next week's Hot 100 if digital sales went towards it.
