Music news: Coldplay hits Billboard no. 1
I doubt if anyone is surprised by this, but Coldplay’s latest CD, “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends,” is no. 1 on the Billboard 200. Forty percent of the sales were digital downloads. Just shows you where the music business is headed - to the internet. Coldplay also hosted their third and final free concert at Madison Square Garden on June 23. The new CD can be purchased for $9.99 on Amazon. Rapper Lil Wayne, whose new CD, Tha Carter III, has been burning up the charts, will be playing in Oct. at The Voodoo Experience in New Orleans’ City Park with R.E.M., Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots and others. Country singer Tim McGraw recently took matters into his own hands at a concert in Auburn, Wash. and threw out an unruly fan after the man allegedly tried to attack a woman on the front row. The local security didn’t move quickly enough, so the crew helped McGraw haul the heavyset man onstage to await law enforcement. All the while, the band kept on playing, never missing a beat. Now that’s professional. One of my favorite bands, Phantom Planet, has a new CD out, ‘Raise the Dead,’ which you can buy at their label’s web site, fueledbyramen.com. Radiohead has released a live video album, “In Rainbows — From the Basement,” exclusively on iTunes featuring the band performing its current album at the Hospital studio in London’s Covent Garden.
