# Coldplay Announce Stream of “Ghost Stories” on iTunes, One Week Prior To Release

*By Derek Oswald · May 13, 2014*

Big news Coldplay fans! Today Coldplay have announced that their brand new album, Ghost Stories, is now available to stream for free via iTunes for a limited time only. As a long time Coldplay fan, and as someone who has enjoyed every record they've released, I can barely contain my excitement as the beginning notes of this musical odyssey blares over my headphones. Fans interested in listening to their gorgeous new record can head over to [iTunes.com/Coldplay](https://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link?path=Coldplay) or [iTunesRadio.com/Coldplay](https://music.apple.com/us/station/ra.686227433) to listen to the album in full, a week before its worldwide release on May 19th.

While you're there, be sure to check out the absolutely gorgeous full-length animation of Mila Fürstová’s Ghost Stories artwork, which was directed by Alasdair + Jock at Trunk Animation.

And if you're the kind of person who prefers a physical release over a digital release (don't worry, I'm that way too!) a Deluxe CD version of Ghost Stories - featuring three bonus tracks -will be available exclusively from Target, in store and at target.com/coldplay.

To celebrate the release of the new record, the band will be doing a primetime TV special, titled Coldplay : Ghost Stories.

An extended trailer for the Coldplay : Ghost Stories TV special can be seen below:

*Ghost Stories is Coldplay’s sixth album. Fans who pre-order the album from iTunes.com/Coldplay now will immediately get the singles Magic and A Sky Full Of Stars, as well as the album track Midnight. The band’s current single, A Sky Full Of Stars, has topped the iTunes Chart in 88 countries since its 1 May release.*
