Biography

Coldplay are a British rock band formed in 1996 by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London. After they formed under the name Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as a bassist and they changed their name to Starfish. Will Champion joined as a drummer, backing vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, completing the line-up. Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998, before recording and releasing three EPs; Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters as a single in 1999 and The Blue Room in the same year. The latter was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone.

 

They achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single "Yellow" in 2000, followed by their debut album released in the same year, Parachutes, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), was released to critical acclaim and won multiple awards, including NME's Album of the Year. They have also come top of the BBC Radio 2 poll of the favourite album of all time. Their next release, X&Y, the best-selling album worldwide in 2005, was met with mostly positive reviews upon its release, though some critics felt that it was inferior to its predecessor. The band's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was produced by Brian Eno and released again to largely positive reviews, earning several Grammy nominations and wins at the 51st Grammy Awards. On 24 October 2011, they released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which received mixed to positive reviews, topped the charts in over 34 countries, and was the UK's best-selling rock album of 2011.

 

The band has won a number of music awards throughout their career, including eight Brit Awards—winning Best British Group three times, five MTV Video Music Awards, and seven Grammy Awards from twenty five nominations. Coldplay have sold more than 60 million records worldwide. In December 2009, Rolling Stone readers voted the group the fourth-best artist of the 2000s.

 

Coldplay have been an active supporter of various social and political causes, such as Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign and Amnesty International. The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Band Aid 20, Live 8, Sound Relief, Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, The Secret Policeman's Ball, and the Teenage Cancer Trust. - Wikipedia

Coldplay out of the Top 20. :cry: I do wonder if this would still be Top 10 if they credited Avicii?
Sorry to all Coldplay fans, but this sounds so generic .... it could literally be released by anyone but because it is them it is somehow credible.
Gone off this, Magic was incredible, although I love the instrumental

I wouldn't really say Coldplay are 'credible', the crowd who stereotypically care about 'credibility' mostly think they're boring?

 

I agree this song could probably have been released by anyone but it's still a great song so I don't really care much (and Chris Martin's vocals still give it a bit of a Coldplay feel anyway).

Sorry to all Coldplay fans, but this sounds so generic .... it could literally be released by anyone but because it is them it is somehow credible.

 

FINALLY someone agrees. It's just faceless boring dance music IMO, similar to the Alesso remix of OneRepublic's If I Lose Myself, and also Calvin Harris' Under Control. :(

Biography

Best known for her Tony-nominated performance in the Broadway smash Rent, singer/actress Idina Menzel made her solo debut in 1998 with the pop-soul effort Still I Can't Be Still. She joined the cast for Wicked in 2003 and appeared on the recording that same year, while 2004 saw her releasing the album Here. The following year, Menzel appeared on the soundtrack to the television show Desperate Housewives, and a duet with Ray Charles (which the pair had recorded back in 1998) found its way onto the tribute album Genius & Friends. In 2007, a dance version of Wicked's "Defying Gravity" became Menzel's first club hit. A year later she landed on the major label Warner Bros. and released a new album, I Stand. - iTunes

Screech out of the top 20 at last :cheer:

Boo at "Let It Go's" record number of Top 20 weeks without entering the Top 10 coming to an end
I wouldn't say it's credible, I wouldn't say there's any more need for it to be credible than any pop, RnB or dance track though. Just a good track, which is a bit different for Coldplay, yet doesn't feel too far away from their general euphoric sound.
Wish they'd release the video for this already, gonna keep falling otherwise.

Was released last week actually.
