After Coldplay's performance on the MTV Video Music Awards one week ago, their album " A Rush Of Blood To The Head" has re-entered the US Top Ten sales charts. In Canada the album has jumped from the 32 to number 20 over the last week. Not bad for a CD released over a year ago. Striking while the iron is hot, the band plans to release a live album and DVD this November. The DVD includes 90-minute performance plus additional features. A Rush of Blood to the Head has been RIAA certified double platinum in America and earned the band two 2003 Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group with Vocal. The album entered the US Album Top 200 chart at No5 and has remained in the upper reaches of the chart ever since. Coldplay's debut album, Parachutes, which features hit songs "Yellow" and "Trouble," has sold almost two million copies in the U.S., was awarded the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, and has now risen to No2 the Billboard Pop Catalogue chart. Coldplay is the only band to have ever won the Best Alternative Music Album for two consecutive years.
