In 2008, a big day for record sales is a relative thing, for the majors and the indies alike. Physical sales are lower than ever, even for superstars; bands routinely crack Billboard’s top 10 with sales barely in the five digits. But today is a big day in the record industry.

Coldplay's newest, Viva la Vida, hits stores today; there are high, high hopes for the album. The band that broke with "Yellow" way back in 2000 has had a couple of smash records since then, A Rush of Blood to the Head in 2002 and X & Y three years later; they're as close to the sure thing (U2) as the record industry gets these days. But there's another band whose latest effort may tell more about what the future of the recording industry looks like.  read more »

Fifth Ave Flood

Divorce is always hardest on the beach house. After almost 22 years, Kathleen Turner and Jay Weiss are splitting up and their Amagansett home is on the market for $7.95 million, according to the New York Post. Also, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are staying in the city after all, reportedly signing a contract for a $7 million Tribeca pad.

A flood in Mort Zuckerman’s penthouse triplex at 950 Fifth Avenue has forced him to take shelter at the New York Palace hotel, according to New York magazine. And Coney Island could soon look a lot more like Vegas.

After four years, a battle still wages in Soho over a disputed commission, according to the New York Times.
