New iTunes ad featuring Coldplay

by Cory Bohon May 21st 2008 at 8:30AM


Last night, Apple released a new ad for iTunes featuring Coldplay. This ad takes the silhouette ads to the max with a beautiful Leopard/space-esqe background and Coldplay singing their new song, Viva la Vida. Once again, this ad was featured during an episode of American Idol, which seems to have been a weekly occurrence through the Idol season.

You can see this video by going to Apple's iPod + iTunes site and scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking "Watch the new TV ad," or you can use the direct link (.mov link).

Thanks for the tip, Kevin!

question, slightly off topic: is this song sampling an older song, or is totally original? it sounds so familiar

The ad really shines on the glossy screen.

I doubt anyone will see this now but, does anyone have a working link? The one linked in the post doesn't work and the one on the first page of the comments doesn't work, either. They both link to a tiny 1x1 GIF file.

Awesome, and I love the song, but they chose an odd bit to use for the ad, in my opinion.

I really wish that was an iTunes visualizer; the effects are gorgeous.
