Coldplay album leaked on internet

Coldplay's new album X&Y has been leaked on the internet a week before its official release.

The eagerly-awaited record was exposed on file-sharing sites yesterday - seven days before it hits shop shelves.

But the band aren't too concerned about the breach - they're amazed it wasn't leaked earlier.

An insider says: "It's a miracle it hasn't leaked before now to be honest. It's released in Japan before Europe and they've played the album on their official website coldplay.com.

"Most major albums leak a long time before release, this is just a few days."
