Coldplay about to take a bow after performing at the BBC's Broadcasting House in 2021.

British rock band Coldplay have recorded over 175 songs throughout their career. They were formed in London by Chris Martin (lead vocals, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (bass guitar), Will Champion (drums, percussion) and Phil Harvey (creative direction).[1] With exception of the latter, all members are equally credited as songwriters of each track. They explored many music styles as the years went by, developing a sound that is considered alternative rock,[2] alternative pop,[3] pop rock,[4] post-Britpop,[5] soft rock,[6] and pop.[7] The band released two extended plays in the late 1990s, Safety (1998) and The Blue Room (1999), with both having characteristics of dream pop that settled them apart from future releases.[8]

Their debut album, Parachutes, was then released in July 2000. Berryman described it as "a quiet, polite record",[9] with Scottish band Travis and American singer Jeff Buckley serving as primary influences.[10] It drew comparisons to Oasis and Radiohead as well, showing Coldplay's alternative rock side with moody,[11] atmospheric songs ("Don't Panic", "Shiver" and "Yellow").[12] Two years later, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) was made available, being noted for having more guitar-driven ("God Put a Smile upon Your Face", "A Whisper") and piano-driven ("Clocks", "The Scientist") tracks than its predecessor.[13]

Meanwhile, X&Y (2005) kept the same style,[14] but with the addition of electronic influences and extensive use of synthesizers,[15] having a grander scale in terms of both sound and existential themes.[16] Lyrics on the record have also been considered to be "ruminations on Martin's doubts, fears, hopes, and loves".[17] Their fourth album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), on the other hand, featured production by Brian Eno and saw Coldplay attempting to diversify their style and explore new territory.[18] They experimented with many instruments,[19] including electric violins, tack pianos, santoors and orchestras.[20] Lyrically, the record had themes of life, love, death, loneliness, war and politics,[21] being more universal than previous material.[22] Its companion piece, Prospekt's March EP, featured "Lost+" a new version of "Lost!" with vocals from Jay-Z.[23] In 2011, they released Mylo Xyloto, a concept album that follows the story of two characters in the style of a rock opera.[24] It expanded their sound by including more upbeat tones for the first time and having a pop rock style with "modern, urban and dance" melodies such as "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall", "Paradise" and "Princess of China", which featured vocals by Rihanna.[24]

Ghost Stories (2014), marked a return to the melancholic, somber and stripped-down style of Parachutes, although now incorporating electronica,[25] R&B,[26] synth-pop and ambient influences.[27] Martin described it as a "journey of learning about unconditional love" after his divorce with Gwyneth Paltrow.[28] It features contributions from Swedish producer Avicii ("A Sky Full of Stars") and longtime collaborator Jon Hopkins ("Midnight").[29] One year later, A Head Full of Dreams was released with production from Stargate and lyrical themes of unity, dreaming, forgiveness, healing and thankfulness.[30] Guesst appearances included Beyoncé ("Hymn for the Weekend", "Up&Up") and Tove Lo ("Fun").[31] In 2019, Coldplay released Everyday Life. It encompassed multiple previous influences while also dabbling in gospel, blues and classical music,[32] featuring contributions from Stromae and Femi Kuti on "Arabesque",[33] and being described as their most experimental album to date.[34] This multi-style approach was kept in 2021's Music of the Spheres,[35] although now leaning more towards pop sounds, which included production from Max Martin and appearances by Selena Gomez ("Let Somebody Go") and BTS ("My Universe").[36] The band have also recorded many other EPs after their late 1990s output and participated in film soundtracks and tribute albums, with a lot of unreleased songs being leaked or performed as well.
