In just 72 hours, the band’s latest album has already sold over 160,000 chart units, setting Coldplay on course for their 10th consecutive No. 1 studio album, as per the latest Chart blast.
It marks the biggest first-week sales in the U.K. for a British act since Adele’s 30 in 2021, which debuted with 261,000 chart units. If Coldplay maintains this momentum, they might edge closer to Taylor Swift’s record, which claimed the fastest-selling album of 2024 with The Tortured Poets Department, which moved 270,000 chart units in its first week.

Public Service Broadcasting are eyeing their third Top 10 album with The Last Flight, which is currently at No. 2, while The Smile — an offshoot of Radiohead — follows closely with their latest effort Cutouts at No. 3. James Bay’s Changes All The Time is also expected to land in the Top 5.
The 1975’s Being Funny In A Foreign Language is projected for a re-entry into the Top 10 at No. 6, driven by the release of an exclusive liquid-filled vinyl.
Alison Moyet is on track for her first Top 10 album in over a decade with Key, marking a triumphant return for the singer-songwriter.
In the lower half of the Top 10, Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II (No. 8) and Jake Bugg’s A Modern Day Distraction (No. 10) are set for strong debuts.
Further down the chart, FINNEAS could score his first Top 40 album with For Cryin’ Out Loud!, predicted to debut at No. 20. Caribou’s Honey is on track to become the Canadian producer’s third Top 40 album, while indie favorite Orla Gartland is set to land her second Top 40 album with Everybody Needs A Hero (No. 25).
Elsewhere, former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep’s debut solo album The New Sound is on course for a Top 40 debut (No. 31), and Leon Bridges’ Leon follows closely behind at No. 34.

Vice President Kamala Harris joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show for a beer and a candid chat about the state of global politics, Donald Trump, and her whirlwind presidential campaign.

The interview kicked off with a zinger about Trump’s absence on 60 Minutes, with Colbert stating, “We invited Kamala Harris to be our guest this evening… In the interest of fairness, we also invited Donald Trump to go f— himself.”

Colbert then asked Harris if she would join him in cracking open a Miller High Life, saying, “Elections are won on vibes. They just want somebody they can have a beer with — so would you like to have a beer with me, so I can tell people what that’s like?”
Harris replied “The last time I had a beer was at a baseball game with Doug [Emhoff],” before quipping, “The champagne of beers!”
The Democratic nominee, who has been on a media blitz to reach younger voters, didn’t hold back during her appearance on the show, especially when it came to addressing Donald Trump’s relationship with leaders such as Vladamir Putin.
“Donald Trump — he openly admires dictators and authoritarians,” Harris remarked. “He has said he wants to be a dictator on Day One if he were elected again as president. He gets played by these guys. He admires so-called strongmen, and he gets played because they flatter him or offer him favor.”
Harris also addressed new revelations from Bob Woodward’s book, where it was reported that Trump sent Covid tests to Russia in the early days of the pandemic.
“The commander-in-chief of the United States of America must stand strong and defend the principles that we hold dear. We should stand with our allies,” she declared. “We should strengthen the alliances that we have, such as NATO, which is the strongest military alliance the world has ever seen. We must stand with our friend Ukraine where Russia is attempting to change borders by force.”
“I ask everyone here and everyone who is watching: Do you remember what those days were like? You remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble to get them?” Harris said.
“And this man is giving Covid test kits to Vladimir Putin? Think about what this means on top of him sending love letters to Kim Jong Un… He thinks that’s his friend. What about the American people? They should be your first friend.”
In the episode, Colbert also highlighted a recent surge of misinformation related to Hurricane Milton, a catastrophic storm threatening the West Coast of Florida, and the use of AI-generated images in political manipulation.
“One AI-generated image making the rounds shows Trump wading into floodwaters with first responders—it’s completely fake, but people are falling for it,” Colbert said, critiquing how such tactics are used to sway voters.
Meanwhile, Harris urged those affected to listen to local officials, while criticizing at politicians who “tell lies” for their gain.
“It’s crude,” she said. “Have you no empathy, man, for the suffering of other people? Have you have no sense of purpose if you purport to be a leader?”
Later in the interview, when asked about Trump’s 2020 election loss, Harris reiterated sentiments she’d heard at her rallies. “You lost manufacturing, you lost automotive plants, you lost the election. What does that make you? A loser. This is what somebody at my rallies said. I thought it was funny.”
“It’s accurate. It’s accurate,” Colbert said. Harris added, “This is what happens when I drink beer.”
In a lighter moment during the discussion, the conversation shifted to music when Colbert asked Harris about her favorite Bob Seger songs in an effort to appeal to Michigan voters. Harris responded, “I’ll go Aretha or Eminem.”
Earlier in the day, Harris also appeared on ABC’s The View, where she unveiled a plan to expand Medicare to cover at-home care for seniors. This media tour has included stops on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM Show and the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she discussed the pressing issue of reproductive rights.

On Oct. 7, Manson took to social media, sharing a photo of herself in a hospital bed with the simple caption, “She lives.”
In another follow-up post, the iconic singer expressed her gratitude to those supporting her during her recovery and reflected on the challenges she’s faced over the past few months.
Trending on Billboard
“I’m choosing to remind myself, as I lie here trying to recover from major surgery, that there are still beautiful things in the world. Animals, flowers, oceans, trees. I’m so grateful to all the people who have gone out of their way to love on me, take care of me, check in on me. I cling on to their kindness and their thoughtfulness and their care,” she said.
“Mostly, I have spent the week in bed. Mostly, I have been doomscrolling. As you can imagine, like everyone else, I’m trying really hard not to lose my mind,” she shared.
Manson also used the post to call for peace amidst the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, writing, “We are all living in the same world. We all deserve a life of peace and happiness. No one will convince me otherwise. Where you have inequality and injustice there will be suffering.”
The update comes after Garbage announced in August that all remaining tour dates for 2024 would be canceled due to an injury Manson sustained during the band’s European performances.
On Aug. 7, Manson shared more details about the toll the injury had taken, revealing that she had returned from the tour “an absolute hot mess.”
In her post, she explained, “So broken that my poor husband had to push me through Heathrow and LAX airports in a wheelchair. I also had a dose of laryngitis and a massive cold sore on my lip.”
Fans were understandably concerned about her vocal health, but Manson reassured them in a follow-up post that everything was under control.
“I was freaking out that I had somehow managed to damage my vocal cords on top of everything else, but yesterday I was scoped and everything is as it should be,” she shared, offering a glimpse of her vocal cords for good measure.
Though she hasn’t gone into detail about the surgery, things seem to be looking up. Garbage is gearing up for their 2025 South American tour, where they’ll be joined by L7 for shows across Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo, starting in March.
On top of that, Garbage fans can look forward to a special Record Store Day Black Friday release on Nov. 29. The band is dropping copy/paste, a collection of covers they’ve performed as an homage to luminaries such as David Bowie, Ramones, Patti Smith, U2, Big Star, Siouxsie and the Banshees and more.

“Polvo De Tu Vida” climbs four spots to No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, sporting the biggest jump to the chart’s peak in 2024, among the 14 songs that have landed at the summit so far.

Although not a record, the song wrapped a 14-week journey to the penthouse, tying with Venesti’s “Es Normal” for the fifth-longest climb to No. 1 in 2024. Here are the songs which endured the longest wait to the top on Latin Rhythm Airplay this year:
