Lady Gaga performed Coldplay’s song, “Viva La Vida” at Radio One’s Live Lounge. It’s not too shabby, either. And I’m not a real fan of Coldplay, so I prefer this version of the song.

Viva La Vida, which means “long live life” is going to be the name of Coldplay’s fourth album, Chris Martin says.

Chris says he’s used to people picking on him for his naming choices, though, because he named his kids Apple and Moses.

If you’re interested, the album is due to be released June 17th.
