Viva La Vida, released by Capitol Music Group on June 17th, was the #1 pre-order in iTunes history. Renowned director/photographer Anton Corbijn will lens the video for the album’s title track, which just jumped to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Viva La Vida” thus eclipses “Speed of Sound” (which peaked at No. 8 in May 2005), to become the highest-charting Hot 100 hit of the band’s career. It is currently No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs chart. “Violet Hill,” the first single from the album, is a Top 10 hit at Modern Rock radio and the accompanying video is receiving massive exposure on MTV (Big 10 rotation), VH1 (X-Large rotation), MTV2 (Elite 8 rotation), MTV Hits, mtvU, MTV Tr3s, FUSE, Music Choice and The N. Produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, Viva La Vida is the follow-up to 2005’s X&Y, which debuted at #1 in 32 countries and has sold 10 million copies worldwide to date.
