Artist: Coldplay

Coldplay's 'Viva' still at No. 1
By
Senior Editor, JAM! Showbiz



The third time is still the charm for Coldplay.

Coldplay's latest effort continues to sizzle on the Canadian album charts.

"Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friend" was locked in at No. 1 for a third straight week, selling 20,000 copies, according to figures compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.

It has now racked up a grand total of 145,000 in sales since its release.

The "Camp Rock" soundtrack (8,000) was well behind at No. 2, The Lost Fingers' "Lost in the 80's" (7,000) climbed three positions to No. 3, and G-Unit's "T.O.S. (Terminate On Site)" had the best debut of the week, landing at No. 4.

Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" slipped one to No. 5, Disturb's "Indestructible" came up two to No. 6, and Katy Perry's hot debut "One of the Boys" climbed from No. 10 to No. 7.

Rounding out the top 10 was Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" at No. 8, John Mayer's new disc "Where the Light Is: Live in Los Angeles" at No. 9, and the Jonas Brothers' self-titled album at No. 10.

Other notable first week entries included My Chemical Romances live set "The Black Parade is Dead!" at No. 21, Ron Sexsmith's "Exit Strategy of the Soul" at No. 28, Vanessa Hudgen's "Identified" at No. 37, and Alkaline Trio's "Agony & Irony" at No. 49.

In the U.S., Lil Wayne returned to the top spot, followed by Coldplay in second, the "Camp Rock" soundtrack in third, G-Unit in fourth, and John Mayer in fifth.
