Listen To Coldplay's New Album Early

Coldplay's Vida La Vida Or Death And All His Friends is streaming on their MySpace page for everyone who adds the band as a friend.

The British group's fourth album, which will hit Canadian stores on June 17, is available to site visitors in Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Russia, Brazil and Europe, excluding The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Spain.

Internet interest in Viva La Vida is heavy. It recently leaked online and has recorded the highest number of pre-sale orders for any album via iTunes. It's also set to beat the first-week iTunes album sales record currently held by Jack Johnson's Sleep Through The Static. There's some irony in that, since it's not difficult to sleep through most Johnson and Coldplay songs.
