Listening to the free download of the new Coldplay single Violet Hill my verdict is - it's OK; nothing great; I won't be listening again.

So why have I got it on iTunes? Because it's free, that's why.

My Movie is picking up strong downloads and watch live streaming too and I'm not fooling myself that it's because I'm globally popular - it is because it is free, so why not try it?

If it is good and people like it, the word will spread. That's the point.

The difference is - my film continues to be free as word spreads. Coldplay are charging for the single from next week.

600,000 downloads sounds impressive but compared to radio listeners it's nothing much.

Let's see how both our new projects fare.

I dont like the Coldplay single much. Doesnt sound like them.

I think the film is fantastic though. Well done.
