British rock band Coldplay have released 9 studio albums, 6 live albums, 12 compilation albums, 18 extended plays, 41 singles, 13 promotional singles, and 5 charity singles. According to Parlophone, they have sold over 100 million albums worldwide as of May 2021,[A] making them the most successful group of the 21st century and one of the best-selling artists of all time.[3] Luminate revealed that, in terms of pure sales, they have tallied 18.2 million albums and 33.6 million song downloads in the United States alone as of February 2015.[4] Moreover, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) attributed the rise in British music exports to their success multiple times, adding that it boosted the balance of payments of the United Kingdom.[5]

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.[6] 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.[7] The former included Top 10 singles such as "In My Place", "Clocks" and "The Scientist", while the latter had the country's third-fastest-sales upon release.[8] Additionally, Coldplay were the first British act since the Beatles to spend three weeks atop the Billboard 200.[9]

Globally, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has confirmed that X&Y (2005),[10] Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008),[11] Mylo Xyloto (2011),[12] 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.[13] Similarly, the first three have topped the charts in over 30 countries each.[14] 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;[15] "Paradise" became the highest-selling rock song of 2011 in the latter region;[16] and "A Sky Full of Stars" was an iTunes chart-topper in more than 70 markets.[17]

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.[18] However, the record enjoyed a sales resurgence after the band performed at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show,[19] eventually reaching six million copies.[20] 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.[21] The group's eighth album, Everyday Life, arrived in 2019 and reached number one in 12 countries.[22] Its successor, Music of the Spheres (2021), had the biggest first-week sales of the year in the United Kingdom when made available.[23] MusicWeek reported that the record improved CD sales in the country,[24] while the Official Charts Company informed that Coldplay were the act with the most number-one albums without missing the top (nine).[25] They also became the first British band in history to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100, achieving the feat with the single "My Universe".[26]
