The Coldplay single Viva la Vida released on this date, goes on to become their first US No. 1 hit.
A little-known US group called Creaky Boards accused Coldplay of stealing this song’s melody from a number they wrote in 2007 called, ironically, The Songs I Didn’t Write. Andrew Hoepfner, Creaky Boards’ singer and songwriter, alleged that Chris Martin attended a Creaky Boards concert in New York in October 2007. Coldplay vigorously denied the allegations claiming that on the night Martin was supposed to be watching them, he was actually working at the Air Studio in London. Additionally this song was written and demoed seven months before the night in question.
