Coldplay have achieved only their second UK Number 1 Single after 'Paradise' climbed to the top of the first Official Charts of the new year. The single was released on October 30 and has steadily climbed the charts since it entered initially at Number 14.
'Paradise' replaced Military Wives' 'Wherever You Are' and saw of competition from Olly Murs and Flo Rida to take the top spot.
Despite boasting five UK Number 1 Albums, 'Paradise' is now surprisingly Coldplay's second UK Number 1, with only 'Viva La Vida' previously achieving the honour. Although 'Speed Of Sound' would most likely have topped the charts in 2005 had it not been for the unfortunate success of Axel F's 'Crazy Frog'.
Phil Harvey, Coldplay's 'Fifth Member', tweeted that the news was "Absolutely Unbelievable!"
Congratulations Coldplay! Lets hope that the next single 'Charlie Brown', rumoured to be released on January 10th, can achieve similar success.
