Ten Weeks Atop Euro Chart For Coldplay August 28, 2008
- Global
COLDPLAY
By Paul Sexton, London
Coldplay's reign on European Top 100 Albums moves into double figures as "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Parlophone), starts a tenth week at No. 1. Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" (Virgin) begins a third week atop Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.
The Coldplay album is down to the last of its remaining No. 1 berths - in France. It falls from the top in Holland and the Belgian region of Wallony. But it holds at No. 4 in Spain and moves up 7-6 in Italy.
The entire top ten of the pan-European album chart is unchanged, with the exception of two titles that trade places. Abba's "Gold - Greatest Hits" (Polydor/Universal) moves up 6-5 as Amy Macdonald's "This Is The Life" (Mercury/Universal) moves in the other direction.
The Abba compilation is at No. 2 again in the United Kingdom and Ireland and climbs 6-4 in Norway. Macdonald's album holds at No.3 in Flanders and No.4 in Germany and Holland.
Perry's single adds three new No. 1 rankings, moving 2-1 in Germany, Austria and Ireland, and holds at the top in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Switzerland. It's also No. 2 in Sweden and Norway.
The biggest new single of the week on the Eurochart, with a No. 6 debut, is Montreal-born French superstar Mylène Farmer's "Degeneration." That's after a No. 1 debut in France and a 33-1 climb in Wallony.
