After several attempts, Billboard managed to obtain a copy of the track, the first from the upcoming album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends.' The Web site asks for the user's email and postcode details, after which an automatically-generated email is sent to the downloader's inbox. The email contains a link to the free MP3, which pops-up on the desktop within a zip-file. The URL apparently expires in six hours. EMI could not be immediately reached for comment. The track will get a conventional paid-for digital release on May 6, ahead of the album's release June 12. 'Violet Hill' was given its world exclusive first airing on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 1 show today, with Coldplay's Chris Martin on hand.
