Coldplay's Viva la Vida was the best-selling album on iTunes for 2008, the music downloading service has announced. The album featuring frontman Chris Martin (a.k.a. Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow) has sold more than 2 million copies since being released in June – and has sold more than 500,000 digitally, the Associated Press reports.
Another Brit, Leona Lewis, claimed the year's top-selling single with her addictively catchy hit "Bleeding Love."

She may sing that she's "kissed a girl," but rocker Katy Perry will be snuggling close to
boyfriend and Gym Class Heroes singer Travis McCoy for the next few months.
"We're going to spend the whole summer together," McCoy, 26, told PEOPLE at a recent record release party for label mate Tyga, in Los Angeles.
"She's going to be on Warped Tour with us, she's going to be performing. It's going to be a good time."
The 46-city, two-month Warped Tour kicks off Friday in Pomona, Calif.
Asked what he likes about I Kissed a Girl singer Perry, 23, McCoy says, "She's super hot, for one. But when I first heard the song, I was like this is going to be a smash. The next thing you know it's No. 1 on iTunes.
"I'm proud of her, she deserves it. She's been in this business for the last six, seven years, and she's finally getting a break. I'm excited for her."
So, are they music's newest power couple?
