Coldplay still holds the #1 spot on Billboard’s album chart with Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. No suprise there. However, the real news is that, in just two weeks, Viva La Vida has sold more downloads than any album previously released digitally.
The old record was held by John Mayer’s Continuum. Coldplay’s Viva La Vida sold 66,000 downloads this week, bringing its two-week total to 354,000. Mayer’s Continuum has sold 353,000 downloads since its release in September 2006. The other all-time top five albums with the most paid digital downloads were Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black (329,000), Daughtry’s Daughtry (323,000) and Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveSounds (301,000).
