Viva La Vida

Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (also simply known as Viva la Vida) is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band Coldplay. It was released on 11 June 2008 in Japan, 12 June 2008 in the United Kingdom and on 17 June 2008 in North America. In May 2008, Coldplay released two singles from the record: "Violet Hill" and "Viva la Vida", the latter becoming the band's first song to reach number one in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The album has, to date, been the number-one-selling album in 36 countries around the world. In the United States, it sold 316,000 copies in its first day, and 720,000 in its first week. In the UK, the album sold 125,000 copies in its first day of release and 302,074 in three days, debuting at number one. The album has since sold over 500,000 copies in 10 days since its release, beating the first week UK sales of Coldplay's previous album, X&Y. Viva la Vida has become the most paid-for downloaded album of all time.

In August 2008, Coldplay announced they would be releasing an EP, Prospekt's March, consisting of unreleased material from Viva la Vida.

The album will be re-released on 25 November 2008 in a deluxe edition, titled Viva La Vida - Prospekt's March Edition. It will contain the original album plus the Prospekt's March EP.
