Get ready for an album chart showdown this week. We've got new releases from Coldplay, White Stripes and, on the other side of the channel, the Tears. For those of you unaware, the Tears are the long awaited reunion of the Brit-rockers Bernard Butler and Brett Anderson previously of Suede. Coldplay is expected to prevail and rival Oasis' over hyped Be Here Now as the fastest selling album ever. Regardless, it should be a stellar week of music releases. PM has you covered with reviews coming shortly for all three works.

Read the full press release at NME and check back soon for reviews.
