Moon Music by Coldplay has become the fastest-selling album of any British act in 2024 so far, according to the Official Charts Company.
The record has shifted over 160,000 chart units in 72 hours and is on track to earn the biggest week for a UK artist in the chart since Adele's 30 debuted at number one with 261,000 chart units in 2021.
It is also in pole position to steal the number one spot, meaning the band, comprised of Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion, will earn their 10th consecutive number one album.
Since the release of their debut number-one record, Parachutes, in 2000, the band has had a streak of chart-topping studio albums with A Rush Of Blood To The Head (2002), X&Y (2005) Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (2008), Mylo Xyloto (2011) and Ghost Stories (2014).
