NIN would have done a bit better if the music wasn't totally instrumental and when bands such as Metallica come out, their "spikes" will be far higher and sustained longer due to being far more popular that either Coldplay and/or Radiohead.

Nine Inch Nails are now doing the same thing so a spike would be visible for late April/early May that can't be wholly attributed to the release of The Slip. If/when Coldplay choose to go that route and offer presales that are only open to registered members of the official site, then you'd be liable to see a corresponding jump there too. And it's Ghosts I-IV, not Group IV-V...
