The resulting 1 arrived in 2014 via Record Company Ten and Universal Music. It was issued through Epic Records, with whom she signed a three album deal, in the United States. - iTunes

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 have 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 25 nominations. Coldplay have sold more than 80 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, Sport Relief and the UK's Teenage Cancer Trust. - Wikipedia

Adventure of a Lifetime is fantastic. It's a shame A Head Full Of Dreams didn't get to number one, but I hope it gets there eventually.

good to see Coldplay finally enter the top 10, the song is quite good and it would feel wrong for a lead Coldplay single to miss the top 10

Coldplay top 10 and pretty great album sales too woop :cheer: Loving this song now and got the album yesterday, so I'm kinda in full stan mode again <3

haven't listened to the album yet, hope there are better tracks... I kinda hate this, sounds like The Corrs trying to cover Daft Punk's Get Lucky... still not as bad as other Coldplay lead singles, Every teardrop was even worst

This song so amazing <3

Sax is great. Really glad it's done so well.

Sax as absolutely incredible and one of my favourites this year, so infectious and catchy :heart: :heart:

'Take Me Home' is holding incredibly well.

great to see 'Take Me Home' having good longevity, proving the doubters wrong when they called 'flop' at its #6 peak! :D

Take Me Home is so beautiful also :wub:
