Coldplay formed in London in late 1997. The band have gone on to become one of the planet’s most popular acts, selling more than 100 million copies of their eight Number One albums, which have spawned a string of hits including Yellow, Clocks, Fix You, Paradise, Viva La Vida, A Sky Full Of Stars, Adventure Of A Lifetime, Hymn For The Weekend, Something Just Like This and Orphans.

In October 2021, Coldplay released their ninth album, Music Of The Spheres, produced by Max Martin. The album’s first single, Higher Power, received its first play on the International Space Station by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet in May 2021, and quickly became another worldwide hit. The second single from the album was My Universe, a collaboration with BTS, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard chart and was streamed more than 100 million times in its first week of release.
