The same can be said about pretty much all their albums.

This will get very clear later in this article with A Head Full Of Dreams benefiting way more from streaming than the 2002 blockbuster. In fact, it sold roughly 40% of the amount sold by A Rush Of Blood To The Head in the same time-frame despite a worse market environment for album sales. Secondly, because it reveals that more recent albums like A Head Full Of Dreams, aren’t complete bombs in comparison.

Why do I mention these old figures from EMI Annual Reports? Mostly for two reasons.įirstly, because it shows very well how the combination of a modern day classic plus the absence of a greatest hits package generates massive catalog sales, as this album is now up to a huge 13.87 million units. By March 31 2004, it was up to 9.1 million copies. If you are unaware of the CSPC method, you will get the full idea within just a few minutes.įrom its August 2002 release to the end of March 2003, A Rush Of Blood To The Head sold 5.6 million copies worldwide.

This concept will not only bring you sales information for all Coldplay‘s albums, physical and download singles, as well as audio and video streaming, but it will also determine their true popularity. This leaves us wondering how popular they really are.Īre their extraordinary touring results matched by their album sales? With popular songs from virtually all their records, what’s their biggest era to date? How many 10 million sellers do they have?Īs usual, I’ll be using the Commensurate Sales to Popularity Concept in order to relevantly gauge their results. They obviously grew a lot since then up to a point where they are capable of grossing over $500 million with one tour only as they did with the A Head Full of Dreams Tour. This goes against the popular belief that the band has been a massive seller globally from day 1. Many would be surprised to know that Coldplay‘s debut album, Parachutes, never managed to reach the Top 50 chart in the US or in Germany. Many journalists love to inflate everything and to write titles more appealing than accurate. It’s easy to overrate the success of an artist. They have 5 songs frequently airing on radio: Yellow, The Scientist, Fix You, Viva La Vida and Paradise. And that debate rumbles on, despite various managers and label execs insisting Spotify style services were good news at recent industry events.īut whatever, the real good news is that if Spotify users feel like having an uplifting musical revelation/getting bored to tears (I can never remember whether or not it’s still CMU policy to automatically diss Coldplay) later today, Chris Martin et al’s most recent offering is now ready and waiting to ooze into your personal binary stream.Coldplay‘s signature song is hard to identify. The album was released on iTunes-style download stores and physically in late October, but the band were one of a handful of big name artists to decide to hold off immediately making their new material available via Spotify et al, seemingly fearing doing so might have a detrimental affect on more conventional digital revenues.Ĭoldplay’s decision to go without Spotify etc for two months came amidst increased debate over whether having your music on subscription-based all-you-can-eat platforms has a negative impact on download sales, and if so whether the per-play royalties the streaming platforms pay out are sufficient compensation, when it could take years of plays to equal the up front one-off download fee. Digital New Coldplay album finally reaches streaming platforms By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 February 2012Įveryone’s favourite pop luddites Coldplay have finally put their new album ‘Mylo Xyloto’ onto the streaming music platforms, including Spotify and We7.
