The British Coldplay they are on track to top the UK sales charts having sold 82.000 copies of his latest album on the first day of release. The thing is 'Ghost Stories', the latest work from the line-up led by singer Chris Martin, will propel the popular band to the top of the rankings. It should be remembered that Coldplay's five previous studio albums have already reached number one in the UK.
It is his sixth studio album and was released by the Parlophone / Atlantic label. The tracklist for 'Ghost Stories' is made up of nine previously unreleased tracks and their first single was 'Magic'. "The arrival of a new Coldplay album is always an event and 'Ghost Stories' is no exception," said Martin Talbot, CEO of the Official Charts Company. According to Talbot, "comfortably achieving the best first day of any album is remarkable, especially after a three-year wait since his last album."
Other candidates to top the charts are Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abott's new album "What Have We Become", as well as the re-release of the Oasis classic "Definitely Maybe". In addition, there is a likelihood that Bob Blakeley, a former warehouse worker turned "crooner," who signed a record deal after being rejected by the judges of the British talent show "The Voice," is likely to be in the top 20.
The Stockport singer impressed audiences with the song "Cry Me A River," although none of the musical "mentors" in the contest offered to include him on their team on the British BBC program.
