Coldplay, originally named Starfish, began their journey in 1998 at a Camden pub. Following their debut EP, they garnered attention on BBC radio and signed with Parlophone, fueled by the success of their hit "Yellow". Their first album, "Parachutes," released in 2000, topped the U.K. charts and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Over the years, Coldplay transformed their sound to appeal to larger audiences by adjusting song tempos, ultimately achieving significant success, with all their albums reaching number one in the U.K. and setting streaming records on Spotify.
Coldplay began their career as an alternative rock band and, without being particularly innovative or groundbreaking, their first album is full of great compositions.
To fill large venues, Coldplay realized they had to give the radio what it wanted, increasing the tempo of their songs.
Twenty-five years after the release of Parachutes, all 10 of Coldplay's albums have reached number one in the U.K.
Coldplay is now the group with the most monthly listeners and streams on Spotify, demonstrating their lasting popularity.
