British rockers Coldplay are giving fans the chance to own their new album for half the usual price by announcing a buy one get one free offer on Internet downloads. Now, whenever music lovers download a track from new album 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends' they will automatically get another song of their choice for free.

Frontman Chris Martin says, "Buy one get one free, it comes from working in Kwik Save (British budget supermarket), I think. As I said before nobody buys albums anymore, certainly no body buys full albums and we've made an album that you have to have from start to finish."

He adds, "I think we were a bit anthemed out after X&Y. I feel like we've got everything to prove and everyone to prove it to this time." (wenn)
