It's been many years since the industry witnessed two huge first-week sales numbers in a row. Last week, Lil Wayne debuted at #1 selling over a million copies of his album Tha Carter III in a single week... and well, this week, we've got another huge debut. This time, from Coldplay! The groups album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends will make a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 chart having sold 730,000 copies in just one week! Incredible! Not only that, their single "Viva la Vida" is also found at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. But, where's Lil Wayne this week? He falls to #2 having sold another 285,000 copies... it's quite a big drop from last week's million copies.
