Coldplay look likely to score their first Number One single this weekend, with 'Viva La Vida' currently at the top spot in the midweek charts today (June 17).
The track, taken from the group's fourth album 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends', is currently a few hundred copies above last week's Number One, Mint Royale's 'Singin' In The Rain', reports Music Week.
With 'Violet Hill' rising from 12 to 10 last week, it looks extremely likely Coldplay will have two tracks in the Top Ten come Sunday's (June 22) Singles Chart rundown (June 22), so make sure you check NME.COM's chart report at 7pm (BST).
'Viva La Vida' was given away as a free download to those who pre-ordered the group's album, so was not eligible for the charts until the record's release last Thursday (June 12).
However, 'Viva La Vida''s slot at Number One is by no means certain, as Music Week report that only 2,000 sales currently separate the track from the Number Eight entry, Chris Brown's 'Forever'.
Coldplay were accused of copying 'Viva La Vida' from an unsigned American band after it was claimed Chris Martin had seen them live last October.
It later transpired the song was not only written before the gig, but the Coldplay singer was on the other side of the Atlantic at the time.

White Stripes - White Stripes Stage Odd Reunion At Raconteurs Show
THE WHITE STRIPES star MEG WHITE thrilled fans onstage at a RACONTEURS show in Detroit, Michigan on Sunday (08Jun08) when she joined bandmate JACK WHITE for an encore.
The crowd at the Fillmore cheered as Meg suddenly appeared behind the drumkit as Jack White returned to the stage for the group's encore, but there was no White Stripes treat in store.
After being introduced, Meg simply waved at the hometown crowd and walked off the stage, leaving the rest of the Raconteurs to join Jack White to close out the show.
The odd reunion marked the first time the Whites have been onstage together since Meg's "acute anxiety" forced the band to cancel dates last September (07).

Theron speaks about love and marriage
Actress Charlize Theron has spoken about why she isn't rushing to get married to her actor boyfriend Stuart Townsend.
The star told Glamour magazine that she has never imagined herself tying the knot.
She said: "Even when I was a little girl I never dreamed of the white dress and all of that."
"I want to be clear: I am not judgmental about marriage. I am judgmental about how our government doesn't want to see the reality of gay and lesbian marriages."
Speaking about her relationship with Townsend, she said: "I've always said that I worry about being with a man who doesn't flirt."
"I love that Stuart can watch tennis and tell me that he's got a crush on a tennis player."
"We're not meant to just like one person. But [that] doesn't mean you go and build a life with another person."

Ordinary Boys singer Preston back with ex?
Ordinary Boys singer Preston is reportedly back with his ex-girlfriend, Camille Aznar, the girl he dumped publicly during 'Celebrity Big Brother' in 2006.
Preston, 26 was recently spotted arm in arm with his ex and one source told Heat magazine: "Camille has been spending quite a bit of time with Preston lately - mainly at weekends."
Preston dumped Aznar after his stint in the Big Brother house, where he met Chantelle Houghton.
The singer's marriage to Houghton ended after just 10 months, with the pair claiming that they had put too much "pressure on one another" to make the relationship work.
Following her initial split with Preston, Aznar said: "It has been very difficult going through a break-up and seeing your boyfriend with another woman all over the papers."
"We had to face up to the fact that we could never go back to how we were," she added.
