"The night's other music program, NBC's Coldplay special "Coldplay: Ghost Stories," had a viewing audience of 1.7 million in the 7 p.m. hour. Its demo audience was 511,000."
Finally bought the album, the shop didn't have the deluxe edition but I needed the album on iPod ASAP.
Kinda bummed because I think I'll have to wait until I reach the US to buy the deluxe edition,I want Ghost Story so much

So I called my store and they said it doesn't come out until tomorrow. WTF
Edit: I called another store and they said the same thing "album's not out until tomorrow"
But I insisted that it comes out today and after he went to double check the release date, he agreed on selling it to me. I'm heading there now.
I wonder how many stores are refusing to sell it today. Ugh so stupid. I hope it doesn't ruin the sales.
They do that all the time here. They don't care if it is supposed to come out on Mondays, they won't put it out until Tuesday.
A Sky Full Of Stars is listed under "Impacting this week" and "Cool new songs" on Triple A. And it debuted at #49 on Alternative this morning.
It also got few adds on HAC. In fact, I heard it tonight for the first time on radio on my local HAC station.
Looks like they are finally sending it to radio stations. But I still need a Pop adds date.
A post from oldmuckers from coldplaying. I agree with his opinion:
"A few things that I have noticed over the years about Coldplay reviews…
01) It almost seems like some critics are afraid to give a Coldplay album too good of a review as if it will hurt their credibility in some a way. A lot of the time the review itself is way more positive then the rating they give it indicates. More then once I have read what seems like a glowing review only to get to the bottom and see they gave the record an average three out of five stars.
02) Critics always seem to want the exact opposite of what the current album is. All I read in the MX reviews was that they wanted the band to return to the low key sounds of the Parachutes era and now that they have I’m reading a lot of critics saying they are missing the bombast of the previous album. The real interesting thing is that it almost seems like this makes them like the previous album more then they did before in contrast."
