Coldplay have said they have the “best fans in the world” after their forthcoming album went straight to number one on the US iTunes album chart.
The album, entitled 'Mylo Xyloto', is not released until October but went to number one on pre-orders alone.
In a message on Twitter, the band called the feat “amazing”, adding: “Coldplay genuinely have the best fans in the world.”
The follow-up to 2008's 'Viva La Vida and Death And All His Friends', will be released in digital, CD and vinyl formats on October 24.
The album includes a collaboration with Rihanna on a track called 'Princess Of China'.
A special limited edition Pop-Up Album version will also be available, which will include a hardback book containing graffiti pop-up art designed by David A. Carter, vinyl, CD and exclusive content including photographs.
