# Coldplay discography

British rock band Coldplay have released 10 studio albums, 18 extended plays, 6 live albums, 12 compilation albums, 43 singles, 14 promotional singles, and 5 charity singles. According to Parlophone, they have sold over 100 million albums worldwide as of May 2021, making them the most successful group of the 21st century and one of the best-selling artists of all time. Luminate reported that, in terms of pure sales, they have tallied 18.2 million albums and 33.6 million song downloads in the United States alone as of February 2015. Moreover, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) attributed surges in British music exports to their success multiple times, adding that it boosted the balance of payments of the United Kingdom.
After launching their extended plays Safety (1998) and The Blue Room (1999), Coldplay entered the UK Singles Chart for the first time with "Brothers & Sisters", at number 92. It was followed by "Shiver" and "Yellow", which became their first Top 40 and Top 10 entries, respectively. With the release of Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), and X&Y (2005), they scored three of the 50 best-selling albums in the United Kingdom. The former included Top 10 singles such as "In My Place", "Clocks" and "The Scientist", while the latter had the country's third-fastest-sales upon release. Additionally, Coldplay were the first British act since the Beatles to spend three weeks atop the Billboard 200.
Globally, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has confirmed that X&Y (2005), Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), Mylo Xyloto (2011), and Ghost Stories (2014) were the most successful albums made available by a group in their corresponding years, with the first two being the overall best-sellers. Similarly, the first three have topped the charts in over 30 countries each. Regarding singles, "Viva la Vida" marked the first time a British act peaked at number one in the United States and United Kingdom simultaneously in nearly four decades; "Paradise" became the highest-selling rock song of 2011 in the latter region; and "A Sky Full of Stars" was an iTunes chart-topper in more than 70 markets.
Coldplay then released their seventh album, A Head Full of Dreams (2015), which was mostly kept from number one around the world by Adele's 25. However, the record enjoyed a sales resurgence after the band performed at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, eventually reaching six million copies. Its accompanying piece, Kaleidoscope EP, featured a live version of "Something Just Like This", ranked by the IFPI as the third-best-selling track of 2017. The group's eighth album, Everyday Life, arrived in 2019 and reached number one in 12 countries. Its successor, Music of the Spheres (2021), had the biggest first-week sales of the year in the United Kingdom when made available. MusicWeek reported that the record boosted CD sales in the country. Coldplay also became the first British band to debut atop Billboard Hot 100, with "My Universe". Their tenth album, Moon Music (2024), was the fastest seller of the 2020s decade by group on the UK Albums Chart, extending their streak of most number-one albums without missing the top (10).
