On 23 October 2019, the album tracks were revealed in advertisements in the band members local newspapers in the UK, including north Wales' Daily Post , and Exeter's Express & Echo (the newspaper of Chris Martin's hometown). "Orphans" and "Arabesque" were then released as the album's lead singles on 24 October 2019 on the Annie Mac show on BBC Radio 1, with the latter song being the first Coldplay song to feature profanity. The album was released on 22 November 2019 and marked by a double concert in Amman, Jordan. The concert, which streamed live to YouTube, was performed at sunrise and sunset, corresponding with the subtitles of the album's two halves.
On 12 January 2012, Coldplay were nominated for two Brit Awards. On 21 February 2012, they were awarded the Brit Award for Best British Group for the third time.

Harvey then dropped out of his Classical Studies degree at Trinity College, Oxford to work with the band. They signed a brief contract with Fierce Panda Records at the end of the year and as part of the deal released a debut single "Brothers & Sisters" in April 1999. This Kate Bush-inspired track was the lead single off of X&Y, with pouncing drums and a tremendous chorus. It even features a nod to Bush with lyrics about climbing a mountain (an alleged reference to “Running Up That Hill,” which inspired Martin to write the track.) The single was nominated for two Grammys, and toppedBillboard‘s Adult Alternative chart.
In October 2006, Coldplay began work on their fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, with producer Brian Eno. Taking a break from recording, the band toured Latin America in early 2007, finishing the Twisted Logic Tour while performing in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. After recording in churches and other venues in Latin America and Spain during their tour, the band said the album would likely reflect Hispanic influence. The group spent the rest of the year recording most of the album with Eno. Ultimately I think this song stands for the notion that, no matter how solid or stable or satisfying something is , nothing is permanent and no matter how tightly we hold onto things/people, sometimes they disappear anyway. Although it is sad in a certain respect, I think it really speaks more to enjoying the moments we have when we have them without any expectations of permanence.
2004: A Rush of Blood to the Head
After the death of Steve Jobs, Coldplay performed four tracks at the Apple Campus, posthumously thanking his support. Coldplay have advocated for the LGBTQ community as well, sparking controversy with their performance at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show. The band were accused of promoting the "gay agenda" by conservatives for the show's last moment, where the audience flipped over rainbow-coloured placards that read "Believe in Love". They are also among the artists that signed a public letter supporting the Equality Act in the United States. In June 2016, Coldplay were in favour of "Vote Remain" at the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum.
Satriani's suit asserted that the Coldplay song "Viva la Vida" includes "substantial original portions" of the Satriani song "If I Could Fly" from his 2004 album, Is There Love in Space?. The Coldplay song in question received two Grammy Awards for "Song of the Year". An unspecified settlement was ultimately reached between the parties. Parachutes was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in September 2000. Having found success in Europe, the band set their sights on North America, by releasing the album there in November 2000, and started the US Club Tour in February 2001.

According to a report published by The Times, they donated over £2.1 million to environmental causes through their J Van Mars Foundation during 2021. In 2017, the band made Kaleidoscope EP available as a companion piece to the album. It included a live version of "Something Just Like This", their EDM collaboration with The Chainsmokers, and Brian Eno's returning production in "Aliens". Released as the lead single along with "Orphans", the song "Arabesque" drew from jazz fusion and afrobeat inspirations. With Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends and the subsequent Prospekt's March , Coldplay further diversified their style and explored new territory following the completion of what they saw as a trilogy of albums. The band experimented with many different instruments, including electric violins, tack pianos, santoors and orchestras, all while using more layered productions.
After it was granted, a Chinese-language cover of the track was commissioned as well. The band performing "Adventure of a Lifetime", during their headline setlist at Glastonbury 2016. The performance was their fifth at the festival, and a record-setting fourth as headliners.
On 24 November 2020, Coldplay received two nominations for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, with one of them being Album of the Year, their first nomination in the category since Viva la Vida. On 21 December 2020, "Flags" was released internationally, the song was originally included as a Japanese bonus track of Everyday Life. On 12 August 2011, Coldplay announced via their official website that Mylo Xyloto was the new album title, and that it would be released on 24 October 2011. On 12 September the band released "Paradise", the second single from their upcoming album Mylo Xyloto. On 23 September 2011, tickets for Coldplay's European tour officially went on sale.
On 13 September 2021, they announced with South Korean pop group BTS the second single, "My Universe", which was released on 24 September 2021. The song debuted at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, being their highest-peaking single since "Something Just Like This" and later went on to debut at number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100. A short documentary about the collaboration with BTS was later released on 26 September 2021 on the official BTS YouTube channel. On 8 October 2017, Coldplay debuted live their new song called "Life Is Beautiful" at SDCCU Stadium in San Diego, California.
Coldplay have explored many musical styles throughout their career, with their sound being considered alternative rock, alternative pop, pop rock, post-Britpop, soft rock, and pop. After winning a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2009, Martin jokingly stated in his acceptance speech that they were "limestone rock", in comparison to "hard rock". In the late 1990s, the EPs released by the band had characteristics of dream pop, setting them apart from future releases. Their first studio album, Parachutes , was described as "melodic pop" which combined "bits of distorted guitar riffs and swishing percussion", being "exquisitely dark and artistically abrasive" as well. Berryman called it "a quiet, polite record", and Champion compared the lyrics to Lou Reed's "Perfect Day", saying they are "quite moody" but with "twists that imply optimism", making them ultimately "beautiful and happy" while the music is "really, really sad". He added it is the "kind of thing where you can create differing moods through the sound and lyrics".
He is listed as such in their albums' liner notes since A Rush of Blood to the Head. Coldplay donates 10 percent from all of their profits to charity. The fund is held in a bank account none of the members can access.
You might be right but the house might be a aspiration as itself or just a step closer to love. In life you have to reach certain things to reach love which most people don't accomplish... Once you get old enough you realize that you don't belong, that nowhere in this beautiful world do you feel at home.
In November 2017, they finished the A Head Full of Dreams Tour, which is currently the seventh-highest-grossing tour of all time. Coldplay then headlined the Glastonbury Festival for a record-extending fifth time in 2021. During the same year, "My Universe" became the first song by a British group to ever debut at number-one on Billboard Hot 100. In 2022, their touring gross surpassed $1 billion from 12 million tickets sold in 456 reported shows, making them the fifth band in history achieve the feat, following Bon Jovi, Eagles, The Rolling Stones and U2.
