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.[5] 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.[6] The former included Top 10 singles such as "In My Place", "Clocks" and "The Scientist", while the latter secured one of the fastest sales week in the country.[7] Coldplay were the first British act since the Beatles to spend three weeks atop the Billboard 200 as well.[8]

Globally, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has pointed out that X&Y (2005),[9] Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008),[10] Mylo Xyloto (2011),[11] 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.[12] Similarly, the first three have topped the charts in over 30 countries each.[13] 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;[14] "Paradise" became the highest-selling rock song of 2011 in the latter region;[15] and "A Sky Full of Stars" was an iTunes chart-topper in more than 70 markets.[16]

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.[17] However, the record enjoyed a sales resurgence after the band performed at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show,[18] eventually reaching six million copies.[19] 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.[20] The group's eighth album, Everyday Life, arrived in 2019 and reached number one in 12 countries.[21] Its successor, Music of the Spheres (2021), had the biggest first-week sales of the year in the United Kingdom when made available.[22] MusicWeek reported that the record boosted CD sales in the country.[23] Coldplay also became the first British band to debut atop Billboard Hot 100, with "My Universe".[24] Their tenth album, Moon Music (2024), had the fastest sales of the 2020s decade by a group on the UK Albums Chart,[25] extending their streak of most number-ones without missing the top (10).[26]
