At itunes, they've also broke records. Jack Johnson had the previous record with 140,000 downloads in his first week, Coldplay broke that record on the first day it was available - they are predicted to have about 200,000 in downloads for the week.

In the UK, they sold 302,074 in 72 hours - which is outstanding!

So I think it's safe to say their fanbase is still intact.
without a doubt its intact. so intact that they're able to get away with an album where two of the songs have two songs in them. the albums all over the board, at least in a coldplay sense. the fanbase strength is what makes it possible.
