True, but I wouldn't be surprised, R1 are huge on Coldplau after all. Also Chris Said on TFI last Friday that they have an secret big guest this Friday, I thought Adele first but Coldplay would make sense too. Is their album is being released on the 4th of December, this Friday seems like an ideal time for a single.

 

Genuinely, though - do we think this could stop Adele in her third week? Their last album managed 168,000 in the first week despite dwindling album sales and it wasn't a Q4 release.

 

 

You've probably heard that @coldplay are on #TFIFriday tonight from 8pm. If not, we're telling you now. There, that's that done.

 

BINGO

Can't see anything, except maybe the sudden death of a huge star, knocking Adele off in her third week.

Loving this single, sounds very different from the last era, a lot more 'experimental' sounding like something from the Viva la Vida album, which is great as that's a fantastic album. Seeming already quite a bit different from the last album, which did stick out a bit after Mylo Xyloto.

 

I do hope the fact it's not come out just over a year after the last doesn't mean the album's too rushed and, if rumours are true, is a fitting last hurrah. Looks like either way they might lose their number 1 album streak.

I think it's pretty much agiven that Adele will be #1 on everything everywhere with this new album of hers until June (exact date TBC) next year. They'll still get high sales though, it's Coldplay! Love the new single, very in keeping with the 'Mylo Xyloto' era of their music which I loved. *pops the album on Christmas list*

Excited for this anyway ~ Really hoping this isn't their last album (they've never specifically said it is, only hinted at it).

 

ditto. Coldplay are never bad, and I'm sure have much to offer in the future. Hopefully a break from each other will make them realise the whole is better than the parts...

'hymn for the weekend', 'everglow' and 'army of one' alone make this album so much better than ghost stories.

Coldplay always say they will be away for a while or this is our last album but they always return!

confirmed to be headlining the superbowl

 

bey and riri cameos pls

birds thoooo <3 (the ending is so shit however haha)

 

the album is so surprisingly enjoyable on the whole! slowly getting back to the viva la vida/x&y days <3

Bought my copy today. £9 in sainsburys :)

Love Fun and Up&Up, solid album overall, I much prefer it to Ghost Stories.

every song is so beautiful. as beautiful as guy berryman himself. please don't let the rumours of this being their last album be true :/ :heart:

This is a really good album. MUCH prefer it to 'Ghost Stories' which I didn't really return to at all. Would be an up-lifting, fun and vibrant way to end their career if it's true.

Listened to this for the first time today, and about three times. It's really, really good. I wasn't keen on 'Adventure of a Lifetime', but that could change and all. 'Everglow' is pretty. 'Fun' was instant love too. Can't wait to sink my teeth into this further.

This is indeed a lovely little album, a bit like the lost cousin of Mylo Xyloto and Viva La Vida, very uplifting and stadium-esque all the way through really but somehow not sounding like a total rehash. Ghost Stories was great in it's subtlety, but this definitely sounds a lot more cohesive and appealing than that did. Would be a perfect way to say goodbye if it really is happening </3

 

I think any of these could work well as singles - My favourites are the last three, particularly Up&Up and Army of One, love a good six minute anthem!

'Adventure of a Lifetime' has grown :cheer:

The album has its moments, but I'm afraid it's their swan song, sad to say. And they are an honest band, not yet resorting to dubstep nor autotuned vocals.

Their 90's hits & albums are better.
