# List of cover versions of Coldplay songs

British rock band Coldplay have been covered by numerous entertainers around the world since the launch of Parachutes (2000) and subsequent albums. According to the BBC, they are the most covered group in the history of Live Lounge, a segment from Radio 1 during which artists usually perform songs from their peers. Moreover, publications including Billboard, Bustle, and Stereogum have all conceived listicles ranking the best new versions of songs written by the band. These covers encompass several languages, such as Chinese ("Yellow" by Katherine Ho), French ("The Scientist" by Diane Tell), and Hindi ("Paradise" by Anmol Malik), while distinct genres can be found in the Piano Guys, and Mark Ronson.
Some renditions have also achieved notability on their own, as Darin's "Viva la Vida" reached number one in the Swedish Singles Chart, whereas Glee's "Fix You" entered the American, Australian, British, and Canadian rankings. In 2011, Willie Nelson covered "The Scientist" for Chipotle's Back to the Start campaign, which promoted sustainable farming practices. NME praised his version for having a previously unheard "terse fragility". Similarly, The Telegraph described it as a "stately country lament" and argued he "travels emotionally to places the original only hinted at". During the following year, Nelson scored wins at ceremonies such as the Clio Awards, D&AD Awards, and London International Awards for his cover.
