This week will mark two important firsts for Coldplay. On tomorrow's Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Viva La Vida" will climb a notch to #1, giving them their first #1 single in the U.S. This week will mark the final week of pre-order sales for the single's parent album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, which was released in the U.S. Tuesday and should easily top the albums chart next week. My guess is that with the album out, "Viva La Vida" will drop quite a bit on next week's Hot 100.
Meanwhile, across the pond in their home country, Coldplay also looks set to score their first #1 single in the UK. "Viva La Vida" hasn't charted at all their, having been found ineligible by the chart guardians due to its special "pre-order" status--a finding the American chart guardians were able to overlook. The album's first official single, "Violet Hill," looks likely to climb back into the top 10.
Here's a rundown of Coldplay's top 40 singles to date in both countries to date:
US
#2 "Viva La Vida" (last week)
#8 "Speed of Sound"
#29 "Clocks"
#40 "Violet Hill"
UK

#2 "In My Place"
#4 "Fix You"
