I think Coldplay finally deserves to be number one. I've hated this band since i first heard "yellow" but i have to hand it to them. This record is a nice piece of work. My only gripe is that i don't think they were very brave with their choice of second single. I think "viva" seems like another BS oversized coldplay pop ballad. I'm sick of these songs. Put the maudlin crap in a pipe and smoke it coldplay!
