We're not surprised. That song is balls to the walls!
What we ARE surprised about though is the fact this is only Coldplay's second number one single in their homeland.
Viva La Vida was their first. We would have though Clocks would have been up there too, but whatevs!
Paradise is number one RIGHT NOW across the pond and deservedly so!
If U need a lil refresher course on how amazing it is, press that play BUTTon up there! Do it, do it!
Twinkle, Twinkle, Wembley Arena!
Last night, Coldplay brought all they had to the finale of The X Factor, making a rather marvelous spectacle of their audience in the arena.
The lights! The colors! The way Charlie Brown seamlessly transitioned into Paradise! It's a beautiful thing!
Check out the video (above) to see Chris Martin and Co. get 12,500 people to their feet with this energetic and amazing performance.
It's been nearly three years since they done this, but totally worth the wait!
Coldplay fans, prepare to amend your letters to Santa, because the band has announced this morning they will be going on a North American tour in the new year, hitting every city from New York to Los Angeles!
This follows up the announcement that the band will be airing a special New Year's Eve concert on PBS from their show at Austin City Limits Special. So really, 2012 is gonna be all about Chris Martin and Co. from start to finish. Nice!

Momentous!!!
While a spokesperson for the awards show would only tease the lineup for the BRIT Awards this year, sources are claiming that the HIGHlight of this year's show will be a performance by Coldplay and Rihanna - together!
The two mega acts joined forces on Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto, to record the duet, Princess of China. As a personal favorite of ours, not only are we happy it is getting some attention, but we're ELATED that its going to be performed LIVE!!!
Other acts rumored for the roster include Kasabian, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Adele.
Adele and RiRi in the same night?! Explosive!!!

Uh…WHAT?
We'd say equal!
It's no secret to anyone who has listened to Gwyneth Paltrow speak that she has a pretty snobby obnoxious elitist high opinion of herself and her abilities as an actress, mother, singer, and lifestyle blogger, but apparently, she's even got her husband Chris Martin drinking her nonsensical kool-aid, too - because he seems to think that the Mrs. is more famous than he is!

The big winner when the Grammy nominations were announced on Wednesday night was Kanye West, who leads the field with 7 nominations. However, the rapper was noticeably snubbed in the Album Of The Year category. Most of his noms came for rap awards.
Adele, on the other hand, is poised to be the golden girl of the Grammys, getting noms in all major categories - including Album, Record and Song Of The Year. In total, the British songstress scored 6 nominations.
Other artists scoring 6 nominations were Bruno Mars and the Foo Fighters.
AND, two of our favorites, Rihanna and Lady GaGa scored nominations for Album Of The Year! Woo hoo! Plus, Katy Perry is up for Record Of The Year for her smash Firework. And Nicki Minaj is up for Best New Artist!
Other faves of ours getting noms include Taylor Swift, Robyn, Foster The People, Amy Winehouse, Avicii, Coldplay and Pink!
Check out a list of nominees in all the major categories… after the jump!
And the reign of Mylo Xyloto begins!
Coldplay only just released their latest studio album, and revealed last night that they will be playing a slew of concert dates in May of 2012, in various soccer stadiums across the UK!
YES! This album is going to sound INCREDIBLE with those kind of acoustics!
Hurry up, Brits! Tickets go on sale November 18th!
And check out the specific show dates…AFTER THE JUMP!

Maleficent!
At least, we think it is! Almost positive, actually!
Angelina Jolie was at the Berlin International Film Festival today, where she is screening her directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood and Honey out of competition, when she announced that the long-rumored project was next up for her - even though she didn't specifically call it by name!
