Coldplay recording makes new Amazon record
03/06/2005 - 16:45:28Coldplay’s new release X&Y has become the most pre-ordered album in history on the Amazon website.
The album has been at the top of its 100 Albums Chart since March 15, when it became available for pre-order.
Today it took the record previously held by Dido’s Life for Rent and became Amazon.co.uk’s most pre-ordered album.
Amazon would not release sales figures for Coldplay’s third album, which hits the shops on Monday.
But it said pre-orders of X&Y had surpassed those of Life for Rent, which was released two years ago, by more than 10%.
