British rock band Coldplay have recorded over 130 songs during their career. Formed in London in 1996, the band self-released their first EPSafety (1998) and their first single 'Brothers & Sisters' (1999) before signing to Parlophone. Their first release for the major label was their second EP The Blue Room (1999).[1] The release of the song 'Yellow', followed by their debut album Parachutes in 2000, brought the band worldwide recognition and fame.[1] The album, along with its follow-up, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), earned the band critical praise,[2] widespread commercial success, and multiple Grammy Awards.[1][3] The group's next album, the widely anticipated X&Y (2005), while considered inferior to its predecessor, was also a major commercial success, becoming the best-selling album worldwide in 2005.[4] The three albums are among the best-selling albums in UK history.[5] The group's next album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was co-produced by Brian Eno and was a major critical and commercial success,[6] becoming the best-selling album worldwide of 2008,[7] and earned the band three Grammy awards.[8] The band's following albums, Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014) and A Head Full of Dreams (2015), each received mixed reviews but all topped charts worldwide.[9][10][11] In 2018, the group released Global Citizen – EP 1 under the name 'Los Unidades', which featured contributions from Pharrell Williams, Stormzy, David Guetta and duo Stargate.[12]
Since their formation, Coldplay have credited all of their songs to all four members of the group. At the beginning of their career, Coldplay's music was described as post-Britpop,[13] with the band Travis being one of their primary influences.[14] The group also has an alternative rock style,[15] said to be reminiscent of Oasis and Radiohead.[16] The group's first album, Parachutes, contained songs that showcased the group's indie rock side and songs characterised as dream pop.[16] Compared to its predecessor, A Rush of Blood to the Head contained more piano-driven ('Clocks', 'The Scientist') and guitar-driven songs ('God Put a Smile upon Your Face', 'A Whisper'),[2] as well as ballads ('In My Place') and lyrical themes that reflect love and relationships.[17][18] Lyrically, X&Y is different to its predecessors, instead reflecting on singer Chris Martin's 'doubts, fears, hopes, and loves'.[19]Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends featured production by Brian Eno, who helped make the album musically different from its predecessors.[20] The album contains lyrics dealing with death, loneliness and war, as well as sounds the band had never used before, such as orchestra, distorted guitars and more prominent percussion.[20][21]Mylo Xyloto, a concept album,[22] tells a love story about two characters named Mylo and Xyloto; its songs dabble in pop, R&B and electronica.[23]Ghost Stories featured the return to a more stripped-down melancholic style found in their earlier music, with lyrical themes of how the past informs the present and broken relationships.[24]A Head Full of Dreams contained the overarching theme that there is a 'vast, beautiful world waiting to be discovered if you open your mind and live', and featured numerous guest appearances, including Beyoncé, Tove Lo and Noel Gallagher.[25][26] Coldplay have also recorded songs for several EPs, film soundtracks and tribute albums, and have recorded several unreleased songs.
