The bandmates already have four Grammys under their belts.
Last summer's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," Coldplay's fourth studio album, charted at No. 1 in 36 countries, including the US, and became the best-selling digital album in SoundScan history as well as the biggest-selling album of 2008, according to a press release. The set is Coldplay's fourth consecutive studio effort to be certified multi-platinum by the RIAA, and is fast approaching 8 million units sold worldwide.
The record's lead single, "Viva La Vida," shot to No. 1 on the modern-rock, adult-contemporary and Billboard Hot 100 charts, and has been followed by Top 10 modern-rock hits "Violet Hill" and "Lost!" Coldplay's new single, "Life In Technicolor ii," is streaming at its MySpace page.
CBS-TV news program "60 Minutes" will feature a segment on Coldplay during the hour preceding the Grammy ceremony, which will be broadcast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
