‘Speed Of Sound’ is the first single to be taken from the Coldplay album ‘X&Y’, released 6th June.

No.1 on the iTunes chart worldwide for several weeks and already Coldplay’s biggest US hit to date on download sales alone (it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No.8, the highest new entry by a British artist since The Beatles ‘Hey Jude’ in 1968), ‘Speed Of Sound’ rides along on a classic Chris Martin piano riff and the inventive, muscular drumming of the brilliant Will Champion. It’s a stunning return which, like all Coldplay singles, gets better with every listen. They may have been away for almost two years but there’s still no-one to touch Coldplay when it comes to making tuneful, intelligent, moving rock music.
