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.

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.
