Coldplay Single Downloaded By 2m, Enjoyed By Far Fewer Hey everyone, Coldplay are back! Finally, drearily self-important, emotionally hollow stadium rock for people who don't like music has a voice again! To mark their return, Coldplay recently decided to release their new single Violet Hill as a free download. And apparently Violet Hill has now been downloaded by two million people eager to hear Coldplay's Spanish-influenced, Brian Eno-helmed new direction. Sadly there aren't any figures for how many people only listened to Violet Hill once, rolled their eyes because it's exactly the same as every other Coldplay song ever written and instantly deleted it from their iTunes library. We're guessing it's just a shade off two million.
