Coldplay is British alternative rock band formed in London, in 1998. The band sold 50 million records worldwide and are best know for their hits like “Yellow”, "The scientist", "Clocks", "Speed of sound", "Fix you" and "Viva la Vida".

Coldplay achieved worldwide fame with the release of their single "Yellow", followed by their debut album, ‘Parachutes’ (2000), which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Its follow-up, ‘A Rush of Blood to the Head’ (2002), won multiple awards such as NME's Album of the Year.

Coldplay's musical style has been defined as alternative rock, being compared to Jeff Buckley and Oasis. Lead singer/songwriter Chris Martin once labeled the band's music as "limestone rock". The band's music has been called "meditative" and "blue romantic"; it "[reflects] on their emotions" and Martin "endlessly examines his feelings". Martin's lyrical wordplay has been called feminist, similar to Andrew Montgomery of Geneva.
