COLDPLAY: BIGGER THAN BEATLES. BY SOME MEASURE

There might have been a time when the singles chart meant something, but on both sides of the Atlantic anomalies demonstrate that they're hardly talking sense anymore. So, while it's astonishing that Coldplay have beaten the Beatle's record for the highest new entry in the US singles chart (Speed of Sound has gone in at 8; the only other UK single to debut top 10 was Hey Jude at ten), does that actually mean that Coldplay are better than the Beatles?

Still, if we were Chris Martin, we'd be phoning up Noel to ask him if he's seen the Billboard listings this week.
