Someone at EMI is probably asking themselves right now, “What are we going to do?” That’s because their big cash cow, yet another hotly-anticipated Coldplay album entitled Viva La Vida has leaked well ahead of its June 17th release date. Undoubtedly scrambling to figure out what has created this chaos, the stockholders of EMI and their gaggle of employees probably wish to hell this hadn’t happened. As with the previous Coldplay album, sales of this record were (and still are) intended to boost EMI’s third-quarter 2008 profits sufficiently to maintain (or, as they would hope, grow) the company’s stock price.
No word on from whence the leak came or whether anyone at EMI is actually freaking out. However, the thought of dozens of stockholders simultaneously requesting a clean pair of underpants after hearing the news is equally repulsive and hilarious.
HEY! if you came here looking for a download link for the album, I can’t oblige you or encourage you. I can tell you I’ve heard the album, it’s worth waiting a couple of weeks to go and buy it. Since you’re already here, why not take a minute to browse through the other music and content of my site and download some legal mp3′s from other bands?
