Coldplay "VIVA" album racks up fifth week at No.1

Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" racked up a fifth week as Britain's number one album, the Official UK Charts Company said.
The year's fastest-selling album with over the counter sales of more than 600,000 since its release in June, Coldplay proved too strong for two non-movers Welsh singer Duffy's "Rockferry" and R&B singer Chris Brown's "Exclusive".
With Coldplay due to launch their North American tour in Los Angeles on July 14, "Viva La Vida" has also been the number one selling album in 35 other countries around the world.
Elsewhere in the UK album charts, indie duo Ting Tings and "We Started Nothing" climbed two spots to four, new entry Black Kids and "Partie Traumatic" came in five, and Beck's "Modern Guilt" was the top 10's only other new record, entering at nine.
In the singles chart British hip-hop star Dizzee Rascal held on to top spot with "Dance wiv Me" as Swedish musician and DJ Basshunter climbed one to two with "All I ever Wanted".
With no new entries in the top 10 of the singles chart, Kid Rock and "All Summer Long" made an impressive showing, zooming up 40 places to six.
