The resulting live film will go ont in November, with a documentaty in tow, and stands to be a portrait of a stellar band in the year they

Coldplay have been heavily involved in the DVD from the ear- liest conceptual stages. "We have discussed everything," says Thomas. "Not only have they put their ideas in, they have vetted mine as well. The main thing they wanted was for it to be a good rep- résentation ofthe atmosphère." To be on the safe side, the band and its management Company

Coldplay: both nlfllits' concer Nettwerk took the rare step of filming two consécutive nights, in case the band failed to hit their stride for any given song. "Generally speaking, the cost is prohibitive because two nights is double the money, basically," says Thomas. "But they wanted to make sure their performance was good, and they can guarantee that over two nights." In practice, says Thomas, the songs from the two nights sync up to each other almost exactly, such is the précision power of the band's road-strengthened (and click- track-assisted) sound. They look as though they are just playing around, but in actual fact they are really, really tight," he says.

Let me tell you about a feature that appeared in Mmic Week nine years ago. In summer 1994, a survey of eight record stores indicated that the average price for a chart CD in the UK was £12.48 - 50% more expensive than some CD albums costtoday. Howtimes bave changed. The latest BPI figures - with album sales at a record high - ax-e exceptional. To sell a record number of albums and increase the value of the music market - especially with the singles market worth half what it was two years ago - is remarkable.

But, with that growth being driven by ever- declining CD prices, there is bound to be a kick- back. Consumers are clearly willing to pay money for music - the question is how much? Driving a market through price takes place across ail sectors and, in the short-term, it is fair enough. The concern for the music industry must be whether such pricing is sustainable as a long-term measure. It may well be that low, low prices - across catalogue and chart - work economically if they are delivering record unit sales, as they currently are.

desensitised to such offers, when £9 is not cheap enough to encourage them to shell out for that Beyoncé or The Darkness album?

Many consumers will be jumping at such prices because there is the risk that, next week, or in another store, they'll have to pay more.

If ail piices, across ail stores, stay at the same level, sales will surely plateau and fall. As the "bargain" effect wears off, that is inévitable. Where do we go then? To sustain growth, £8.50 may have to be the next step. Or it could be £8. How about £7? One alternative is to accept the market at its existing level, and acknowledge that sales will probably décliné. But that means accepting the existing price points without the sales levels which make them even marginally viable.

The other is to allow prices to move upwards to their natural level. If that is even possible - which I doubt - you will excuse me for averting my eyes when THAT set of trade deliveries corne in. It is conundrum that is going to take some working out. It is also something that we should

America's Mercury Music Prize équivalent, the Shortlist Music Prize, announced its long list of nominees last Monday, recognising a host of British talent Not another award - what's it ail about this time? The Shortlist Prize of Music is an annual album award bestowed by a panel in the US. A group of listmakers put forward suggestions for the long- list, featuring 86 albums, then narrow it down to 10 finalists, announced on September 2, and eventually a final winner, announced at a concert in LA, who is awarded a cash prize. "I founded the Shortlist because there was a lot of exciting left-of-centre music being made that was not getting through the média channels in the States, through commercial radio and TV," says co-founder of the Shortlist Organisation Tom Sarig. It ail sounds a bit like the Mercury. What's the différence? For one thmg, the award is open to artists from ail over the world, with Blur, The Coral, Damien Rice, Floetry, Four Tet, The Music, Radiohead and The Streets ail among this year's nominees, while Iceland's Sigur Ros won the first award in 2001. "It is about the panel sharing their musical discoveries with us from the past year," adds Sarig. "There are umpteen awards shows in the States, but this one is about exposing new music and growing the audience for left-of-centre culture. To be described

That panel, which this year includes the likes of Coldplay's Chris Martin, the Chemical Brothers and last year's winner The Neptunes, thrash out the winner over dinner on the night of the awards concert on October 16. No music executives or lawyers need apply, apparently. So you could see Iggy Pop sitting across the table from Beck, who is arguing his case with Mos Def? Quite.

Strong débuts help singles reverse trend Although still more than 10,000 short of the 500,000 mark, singles sales improved by 2% last week to reach their highest level for sut weeks. On ils third week at number one, Blu Cantrell's Breathe dipped by 10% to a little more than 44,000 sales, easily beating Ultrabeat's Pretty Green Eyes, whieh remains at number two despite shedding 23% of its préviens week's tally to slip below the 33,000 mark. Four débuts bolster the Top 10, with another

Although they required a far lower total to gain a Top 40 place than at any lime in their career, the Bluetones' 13th consécutive Top 40 hit - their entire output sinee 1995 - only just scraped into the frame, selling an opening tally of2,247 to take 40th place. Compilations and artist albums headed in opposite directions, the former slumping 10% week-on- week and the latter improving 5%. For compilations, sales of552,000 represent the sector's lowest weekly tally for 11 weeks, and were due to a dearth of new albums - only three debuted on the Top 50 - plus the continuing décliné of the chart-topping Now! That's What I Call Music 55. The Now! album is number one for the fourth week in a row, and has sold more than 416,000 copies to date, including a tad more than 45,000 MARKETINDICATORS

last week. Its rate of décliné last week - it sold 31.8% fewer than the previous week - was its lowest yet, and after 27 days in the sirops it is 54,000 sales ahead of tire pace set by Now! 54 earlier this year. And, although it is 42,000 behind the cumulative sales achieved by Now! 52 at the same stage of its life last summer, it sold over 1,000 more copies on its fourth week in the shops than Now! 52 did. Artist albums' tally of1,730,000 was helped by the arrivai of the latest Eva Cassidy set, American Ttine. Compnsmg a further 10 previously unreleased songs from

the late singer who succumbed to cancer in 1996, it sold more than 42,500 copies to replace Robbie Escapology at number one. It is the artist's third posthumous numbërbhe album 'Trfa roivTSllmvuig aongbird. which finally reached the top spot in March 2001, more than two years after it was first released, and Imagine, which debuted at number one a year ago next week. Songbird's peak weekly sale was 78,000, while Imagine sold 57,500 copies the week it was released, AU told, more than 2m Cassidy albums have been sold.

Z ELBOW CAS! OF THOUSANDS ) UNDERTONES BEST OF MARVIN GAYEIWANT VOU (OELUXE EDITION) ! VARIOUS COUNTRY GOT SOUL

10. B1C RUNCA BEAUTIFUL COLLISION "Muse are getting bigger in both sound and ambition, while Elbow's Cast of Thousands is another masterpiece. I love Elephunk - a great summer pop album, with a bagful of hit singles to corne, and the time could be now for those consistent Aussie rockers, Powdeifinger. As with the Lucinda Williams album, Gillian Welch matures with every listen - watch the sales pick up when she plays in the UK in September. Finaily, 1 have to mention Marvin Gaye - a great album just got greater, courtesy of Universal's excellent two-CD upgrade,"

More tuning into Hallam

A few weeks shy of its 29th birthday, ShefEeld-based Hallam FM is the third largest of the eight stations which form Emap's Big City network and broadeasts to a potential audience of more than 1m in South Yorkshire. In the most recent Rajar survey, it achieved a reach of 36.2%, which translates into a weekly audience of465,000. Hallam FM's playlist is based on initial décisions made by London-based Big City group programme director Andy Roberts with input from Chris Straw, who has been head of music since 1997. Straw also serves as group scheduler for the Emap group and is further responsible for the new Kerrang! rock programme. We concentrate on the big songs, ourjocks are tight, and we can play 15 songs an hour

Hallam FM is a CHR station targeting a broad 15-34 audience and Straw has no hésitation in picking out Beyoncé's Crazy In favourite record. "We've been getting phénoménal research on iL It is die kind of record our audience want to hear at very regular intervais," he says, justifying the record's tally of more than 80 plays last week. It is one of just five songs on the A-list at Hallam. alongside current hits by Javine, the Stéréophonies, Pink and Robbie Williams. Ail were aired at least 73 times last week. Straw also stands up for XTM's Fly On The Wings Of Love and Ultrabeats Pretty Green Eyes, "That kind of dance record is enormous here, but there just aren't enough similar records to satisfy audience demands." Hallam is in the enviable position of increasing its audience by 6% year-on-year. Straw says it big songs, our jocks are tight and there is no clutter, which means we can play 15 songs an hour."
