Coldplay also received recognition from the Recording Academy and won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2002.Ĭoldplay followed Parachutes up with A Rush of Blood to the Head in 2002, spawning several hit singles, including “In My Place,” “Clocks,” and “The Scientist.” The band supported their sophomore album with increasingly extensive and elaborate live shows as they toured across five continents, including performances at Glastonbury Festival, Australia’s Hordern Pavilion, and the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. The album launched the band to commercial success and critical acclaim, receiving multi-platinum status and many highly revered awards, including two Brit awards for Best British Group and Best British Album. It broke into the UK Top 5 and paved the way for Coldplay’s debut album, Parachutes, released through Parlophone Records. The band had a major breakthrough with their hugely popular single “Yellow” in 2000. Over the years, the group took on other unique titles like Starfish before eventually becoming Coldplay.
Originally called Pectoralz, the band included Guy Berryman on bass and Will Champion on drums. Coldplay began when lead vocalist Chris Martin and guitarist Jonny Buckland met during orientation week for their studies at University College London in 1996.
