BTW Thanks to the Chart team for the hard work this year.

5 years since the biggest chart show thread on Buzzjack and the most users ever online :D

I would like to add my thanks to the chart team. A lot of the effort goes on behind the scenes so it is easy to overlook how much work is involved in providing the most comprehensive chart show thread on the internet as well as the weekly midweeks and sales threads. So, a very Happy Christmas to the chart team from me and also Happy Christmas to all the members who contribute to this thread :cheer: . If you normally read the thread without contributing, why not make a contribution this week? :D

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

I second this, as I host the Haven thread solo, I Cannot compete with the comprehensive information the Buzzjack thread offers.

 

I can't even read his posts now, the pale lilac colour is unreadable to me and I don't find it worthwhile changing my monitor settings just to accommodate him, so I just ignore all his posts.

 

Highlighting the post can solve that problem, although I personally wouldn't recommend it in this case. You're certainly not missing anything.

Predictions for number 41 anybody?

I would also like to thank all those involved in maintaining this thread weekly, it's good that you've all found a way to make the layout so good and for the threads to be an invaluable source of information.

 

I haven't been here every Sunday this year to join in, but I always enjoy reading through later on (particularly at the retro weeks, and the recaps with trajectories etc.)

Predictions for number 41 anybody?
