Coldplay free download a hit


April 29, 2008 Coldplay's free download offering proved to be no shrinking violet when it went live on the band's Web site Tuesday. After several attempts, Billboard managed to obtain a copy of the song, the first from the upcoming album "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends." The Web site asks for the user's e-mail and postcode details, after which an automatically generated e-mail is sent to the downloader's inbox.
