The Zutons think Coldplay will stop their new album reaching number one.The band, from Liverpool, England, release their third album, 'You Can Do Anything', just days before Chris Martin's band release Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends in June.The Zutons' frontman Dave McCabe says the release is likely to stop his band topping the charts - but insists he doesn't mind. He said: "It means our album can't be number one or number two - there'll be something else out - but it doesn't really bother me. It's not like we hate them or we're similar. People should know to buy us anyway!"Coldplay have announced they will play free concerts to support their album's release, but Dave says they won't be doing anything similar.He added: "We're not doing anything free, we're not Coldplay, we are not big enough to do a Radiohead or a Coldplay. We'd only do a free gig for a charity we supported."
