A rush of record sales to the head

Not content with entering the UK and Irish album charts at number one this week, Coldplay have added a second Point Theatre date and now play the venue on October 25 and 27.

With A Rush Of Blood To The Head selling 250,000 copies – the biggest first week tally for any album this year – we're off to the bookies to see what odds we can get on Chris Martin & Co. headlining Slane 2003.

Also doubling up in Dublin is Badly Drawn Boy who now plays the Olympia on November 20 and 21.
