Their Viva La Vida album spends a second week on top of the albums chart, while its title track debuts at No.1 on the singles countdown.
'Viva La Vida' had previously been excluded from the chart because it came free to fans who pre-ordered the band's album from iTunes.
Ne-Yo rises a place to two with 'Closer', with Rihanna's 'Take A Bow' slipping to third. Last week's number one, 'Singin' In The Rain' by Mint Royale, slumps to eight.
Meanwhile, American Idol champion Jordin Sparks scores her first UK top ten hit, rising to ten with 'No Air', a duet with Chris Brown.
