British alternative rockers Coldplay are on pace to top next week's Billboard 200 albums charts next week with their new album, "Mylo Xyloto," which arrived in stores on Monday.  Industry prognosticators have the set moving between 440,000 and 450,000 copies in its first week, a total that would make it the third-biggest sales week of the year after Lady gaga's "Born this Way (1.1 million), and Lil' Wayne's "Tha Carter IV (964,000).

Coldplay's fourth album overall, "Mylo" will be the band's third No. 1 album, and will enjoy the third largest sales week for a rock album since U2's "No Line on the Horizon" hit No. 1 with 484,000 copies sold in March 2009.
