Candidate passages:
In October 2006, Coldplay began work on their fourth studio album, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends", with producer Brian Eno.
Taking a break from recording, the band toured Latin America in early 2007, performing in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.
After recording in churches and other venues in Latin America and Spain during their tour, the band said the album would likely reflect Hispanic influence.
The group spent the rest of the year recording with Eno.
Martin described "Viva la Vida" as a new direction for Coldplay: a change from their past three albums, which they have referred to as a "trilogy".
He said the album featured less falsetto as he allowed his voice's lower register to take precedence.
Some songs, such as "Violet Hill", contain distorted guitar riffs and bluesy undertones.
"Violet Hill" was confirmed as the first single, with a radio release date of 29 April 2008.
After the first play, it was freely obtainable from Coldplay's website from 12:15 pm (GMT +0) for one week (achieving two million downloads), until it became commercially available to download on 6 May.
"Violet Hill" entered the UK Top 10, US Top 40 (entering the Top 10 in the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart) and charted well in the rest of the world.
The title track, "Viva la Vida", was also released exclusively on iTunes.
It became the band's first number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100, and their first UK number one, based on download sales alone.
This was also the first Number One in the UK Singles Chart to be based solely on download sales.
Upon release, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" topped the album charts worldwide, and was the world's best-selling album of 2008.
It hit number one on the UK album chart, despite having come on the market only three days previously.
In that time, it sold 302,000 copies; the BBC called it "one of the fastest-selling records in UK history".
By the end of June, it had set a new record for most-downloaded album ever.
In October 2008, Coldplay won two "Q" Awards for Best Album for "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" and Best Act in the World Today.

They also picked up two other awards, World's Best Selling Rock Act and Great Britain's Best Selling Act.
The band followed up "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" with the "Prospekt's March EP", which was released on 21 November 2008.
The EP features tracks from the "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" sessions and, as well as being available on its own, was issued as a bonus disc with later editions of "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends".
"Life in Technicolor II" was the only single released from the EP.

became the third single from the album, featuring a new version with Jay-Z.

On 4 December 2008, Joe Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit against Coldplay in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
Satriani's suit asserted that the Coldplay song "Viva la Vida" includes "substantial original portions" of the Satriani song "If I Could Fly" from his 2004 album, "Is There Love in Space?".
The Coldplay song in question received two Grammy Awards for "Song of the Year."
The band denied the allegation.
An unspecified settlement was ultimately reached between the parties.
Coldplay were nominated for four BRIT Awards in 2009: British Group, British Live Act, British Single ("Viva la Vida") and British Album ("Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends").

Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, often referred to as simply Viva la Vida, is the fourth studio album by British alternative rock band Coldplay, released on 11 June 2008 on Parlophone.
The album was named after a Spanish phrase that translates in English as "Long live life", although it can also be taken as "Live the life".

Recording sessions for the album took place during June 2007 to April 2008 and featured production by Jon Hopkins, Rik Simpson, Markus Dravs, and Brian Eno.
The album was their first to be produced by Eno.
The band forced themselves to explore experimental styles, as Eno required every song on the album to sound different, and expanded their musical interests while recording "Viva la Vida".
The band wanted to make the album shorter than 42 minutes.
Despite this, the album is longer than the length they intended.
Development of the album delayed the release date several times.
The album cover of "Viva la Vida" is the painting "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix.
"Viva la Vida" was both a critical and commercial success.

"Viva la Vida" was initially released only with iTunes Store pre-orders of "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" on 7 May 2008 – the "new edit" version of the song – which led to the song's temporary exclusion from the UK Singles Chart.
It was released as a download-only single on 25 May 2008, and a physical CD single in Europe on 29 July 2008 to coincide with the release of the single's music videos.
"Viva la Vida" was well-downloaded in the internet, becoming iTunes' best-selling song of 2008.
From 24 December 2008 to 5 January 2009 an official remix of the song by producer Stuart Price, named the "Thin White Duke Mix", was given away for free as a Christmas gift via the band's website.
The song was used as part of Apple Inc.'s iPod + iTunes advertisement campaign.
Coldplay performed the song live for the first time at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards.
It has since gone on to make many media appearances, including being featured throughout the episode from the paranormal drama "Medium", as a song played on the radio in the episode "We're Not in Kansas Anymore" from the teen drama "90210", used as bumper music on Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" radio talk show, and on the international soundtrack to the Brazilian soap opera "A Favorita" which helped push "Viva la Vida" up the charts in Brazil, where the telenovela been shown.
"Viva la Vida" was the entrance music for Birmingham City Football Club during the 2009–2010 season, but was quickly dropped after negative response by the supporters.
In 2009, Solange Knowles covered the song.
Lady Gaga also covered the song for BBC Radio 1.

It was also used in an episode entitled "Million Dollar Maybe" of "The Simpsons".
The song was covered in the seventh series of "The X Factor" by the boyband One Direction in 2010.
Coldplay were first accused of plagiarism of "The Songs I Didn't Write" by American alternative band Creaky Boards, for the melody of "Viva la Vida".
Creaky Boards' band member Andrew Hoepfner claimed that Martin had heard them playing the song at a live show in October 2007.
The band released a video clip, in which it compares sections of both songs.
Coldplay denied the claim; band spokesman Murray Chambers said Martin was working in AIR Studios in London at that time, having checked the singer's diary.
In addition, Coldplay had recorded a demo version of "Viva la Vida" in March 2007, long before Creaky Boards performed it live in October of the same year.
Creaky Boards later retracted the accusations and speculated that both songs may have been inspired by the video game "The Legend of Zelda".
On 4 December 2008, American guitarist Joe Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit against Coldplay in Los Angeles.
The suit claims that "Viva la Vida" incorporates "substantial, original portions" of his instrumental track "If I Could Fly" from his 2004 album "Is There Love in Space?".
The band has denied the allegation, saying the similarities were "entirely coincidental".
On 14 September 2009, the case was dismissed by the California Central District Court, with both parties potentially agreeing to an out-of-court settlement.
In May 2009, Yusuf Islam stated that the song is very similar to his song "Foreigner Suite," recorded under his former stage name, Cat Stevens.
He said "My son brought it to my attention and said: 'Doesn't that sound like 'Foreigner Suite?'"
Islam said that any legal action he might take "depends on how well Satriani does."
Coldplay drummer Will Champion denied the claim, stating, "We're confident we haven't done anything wrong."
In June 2009, Islam later said, "They did copy my song but I don't think they did it on purpose," adding, "I don't want them to think I am angry with them.
I'd love to sit down and have a cup of tea with them and let them know it's okay.
"In a documentary for Sweden's Television (2011) American music professor Dr. Lawrence Ferrara showed that the melody structures of "Viva La Vida", "If I Could Fly" and "Foreigner Suite" were very similar to the composition "Se tu m'ami" by the Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, who died in 1736.
"Obviously this is a work that we would call in the 'public domain'", Dr. Ferrara said.
Chris Martin once said that the plagiarism allegations were inspiring him and added: "If everyone’s trying to take away our best song, then we’d better write 25 better ones!"
Will Champion has also talked about the accusation saying, "For some reason, God only knows why, the successful songs seem to be the ones that are accused of being stolen."
