Coldplay's 'Viva' Continues Euro Chart Hot Streak

July 17, 2008 - Global

COLDPLAY

By Paul Sexton, London

"Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Parlophone/EMI) gives Coldplay a fourth week atop European Top 100 Albums, but there's a new leader on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles. Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" (Topdog/Atlantic/Warner Music) moves up 2-1, trading places with Estelle's "American Boy" (Homeschool/Atlantic), featuring Kanye West.

The Coldplay set leads the way again in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Switzerland, Greece and the Belgian region of Wallony, and moves back 2-1 in Holland. "Viva" has U.K. sales to last weekend of 708,000, according to the Official U.K. Charts Company.

Unusually, the top four on the pan-European album chart are unchanged for a fourth straight week. Duffy's "Rockferry" is runner-up to Coldplay both on the overall survey and in the United Kingdom and Finland, but moves up 2-1 in Sweden and 8-4 in Holland. Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" (Universal Island) holds at No. 3 on Top 100 Albums, posting a 6-3 climb in Spain, and Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.) holds at No. 4 after climbing 7-3 in Greece and 24-14 in the United Kingdom.

The highest new entry on Top 100 Albums, at No. 5, is "Plan A!" (Sony BMG) by Thomas Godoj, the Polish-German pop-rock singer who won the fifth season of talent series "Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar" in May. Set up by the No. 1 debut last month of the single "Love Is You" in the GSA territories, the album debuts at the summit in Germany and Austria and at No. 3 in Switzerland.

Amy Macdonald's "This Is The Life" (Vertigo/Universal) climbs again 7-6, a new peak in its 30th week on the Europe-wide chart. The singer-songwriter from Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow, is at No. 2 with the album in Switzerland and Flanders, and is charting strongly with its title track single, up 3-1 in Holland, 2-1 in Wallony, 6-2 in Switzerland, and at No. 1 again in Flanders. Although that track only reached No. 28 in the United Kingdom last December, the album is double platinum there for 600,000 shipments and now climbs 36-24 in its 50th week. The album has now passed European shipments of one million, according to Universal, and is released in the U.S. Aug. 19 on Decca.

The Cistercian Monks of Roscrea's "Chant - Music For Paradise" (UCJ/Universal) climbs 15-7, reaching the top ten for the first time in its eighth week on Top 100 Albums. "Chant" reached No. 7 in the United Kingdom last month and now jumps 12-5 in Germany.

Chris Brown's "Exclusive" (Jive/Sony BMG) slips 5-8 overall, despite holding at No. 2 in Ireland and No. 3 in the United Kingdom. Ich + Ich's "Vom Selben Stern" (Polydor/Universal) falls 8-9 on the composite list, holding at No. 3 in Germany, while Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" (SRP/Def Jam) is back in the pan-European top ten, up 11-10 in its 58th week on Top 100 Albums. The title peaked at No. 3 in non-consecutive weeks fully a year ago, and now makes its first top ten showing since February.

Kid Rock's single takes the Eurochart crown after racing 46-6 in the United Kingdom with 21,000 downloads. It's No. 1 again in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, up 6-3 in Holland and new at No. 5 in Ireland.

'Viva La Vida' Lives Large On Euro Chart

July 24, 2008 - Global

By Paul Sexton, London

The top two titles on Billboard's European Top 100 Albums chart are unchanged, with "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Parlophone/EMI) at No.1 for Coldplay for a fifth week. Its predecessor at the top, Duffy's "Rockferry" (A&M/Universal), holds at No.2, also for the fifth week in a row.

"Vida" still holds the chart reins in Holland, Ireland, Finland, Switzerland and Greece, and moves back 2-1 in Germany. But it's down to No.2 in the United Kingdom, France and the Belgian region of Wallony. Weekly U.K. sales of 34,000 to last weekend give the album a running total there of 742,000. The single "Viva La Vida" is up 13-8 in Italy.

The Duffy album is No.1 for a second week in Sweden and up 11-4 in Spain, and rests at No.2 in Finland and No.4 in Holland. The single "Mercy" dips 4-6 on the Eurochart.

New at No.3 on Top 100 Albums is Carla Bruni's "Comme Si De Rien N'Etait" (Teorema/Naive). It climbs 3-1 in France, debuts at No.3 in Switzerland and holds at No.3 in Wallony, while widespread and unprecedented U.K. publicity for the Italian model turned singer who is now France's First Lady helps the album to a No.58 debut on sales of just under 3,000. Bruni's last album "No Promises" debuted at No.1 on the pan-European chart in January last year after debuting at No.1 in Germany and No.5 in Spain.

Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.) spends a 12th consecutive week on the composite top five as it holds at No.4 for a fifth week. It's back in the Italian top five, 8-5, and the U.K. top ten, 14-10, after the single "Give It To Me" climbed 17-7 there. Last week was the track's eighth on sale in that market, but first as a CD, helping weekly sales of 19,000. That performance and a No.3 debut in Holland help "Give It To Me" rise 29-2 on the Eurochart.

Amy Winehouse slips 3-5 on the aggregate listing with "Back To Black" (Universal Island), which is down 7-12 in the United Kingdom. It holds at No.3 in Spain, No.5 in Holland and No.10 in Italy. Just below it at No.6 on Top 100 Albums is a new entry for Swedish DJ turned artist Jonas Altberg, under his recording name of Basshunter. "Now You're Gone - The Album" (Hard2Beat) opens at No.1 in the United Kingdom on sales of 36,000, its debut fuelled by the chart-topping performance of the title track there in the new year and a No.2 showing last week for the follow-up "All I Ever Wanted." That song arrives at No.3 in Norway, while "Gone" is up 11-8 on the French singles chart.

Amy Macdonald's "This Is The Life" (Mercury/Universal) dips 6-7 on Top 100 Albums, but climbs 3-2 in Holland and 12-9 in Germany, as the title track single stays at No.1 in Wallony and neighboring Flanders. The album is back up 24-20 in the United Kingdom, where this weekend it will celebrate its first birthday on the chart.

Macdonald's fellow Scottish singer-songwriter and Mercury labelmate Sharleen Spiteri, lead singer of durable pop-rock band Texas, takes her solo bow at No.8 on the pan-European chart with "Melody." It's new at No.3 in the United Kingdom after selling 29,000 units. First single "All The Times I Cried" slips 26-27 there.

"Plan A!" (Sony BMG) by Polish-German pop-rock vocalist Thomas Godoj, which debuted at No.5 overall last week, falls to No.9, after falling back behind Coldplay to No.2 in Germany. The Cistercian Monks of Roscrea's "Chant - Music For Paradise" (UCJ/Universal) is down 7-10 on Top 100 Albums, 3-4 in Austria, 5-6 in Germany and 30-37 in the United Kingdom.

Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" (Topdog/Atlantic/Warner Music) starts a second week atop the Eurochart, as it moves 6-3 in the United Kingdom on sales of 31,000. It also climbs 5-2 in Ireland and holds at No.1 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Isn't it actually 100k? I know the certification level changed, but it was only for albums released after May 1 - and Hard Candy came out April 29 in Canada. :)

CRIA.CA count 100.000 for Hard Candy

not 80.000
