Coldplay

Coldplay is a British rock band formed in London in the late 1990s by Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland, later joined by Guy Berryman and Will Champion, with longtime collaborator Phil Harvey often considered the unofficial fifth member. They rose to global fame with their melancholic yet anthemic debut album Parachutes (2000), featuring the breakout single “Yellow,” and continued to evolve with critically acclaimed albums like A Rush of Blood to the Head and Viva la Vida, the latter's title track becoming one of the first British songs to simultaneously top both the UK and US charts in the 21st century. . Known for blending melodic piano-driven melodies with atmospheric, genre-spanning production, Coldplay have sold over 160 million records worldwide, launched one of the highest‑grossing tours ever, and are lauded for their massive live shows, global marketing savvy, and philanthropic commitment.
