Crazy though it may seem, Coldplay's new single 'Speed of Sound' has entered the US singles chart at number 8, making them the first British band to debut in the top ten since The Beatles did it in 1968 with 'Hey Jude'. It's also the highest new entry since American Idol winner Fantasia went in at number one last
Jul.
'Speed of Sound' is released in the UK on 23 May followed by the release of new album X&Y on 6 Jun.
