Coldplay is the biggest pop-rock band in the world today -- and XM Radio knows it. Beginning July 15, the satellite radio company will devote a month-long channel to the band's music. Fans can tune in and hear songs from all of Coldplay's studio albums as well as rarities, import-only tracks, interviews, and exclusive concert broadcasts from their forthcoming Viva La Vida North American tour. If you're a fan of big, swooning, mid-tempo rock music this station should provide you with a more-than-adequate fix.
