The promotional push for Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, will kick into high gear tonight when the British quartet makes an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. The band is likely to play their dramatic new single "Paradise," but who knows, there could be other surprises. Like, what if Chris Martin duets with his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow? That'd be something, right?

Kelly Clarkson - Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC 11:35 p.m.

“He Will Break Your Heart”

Jerry Butler | 1960

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
