Love them or hate them, their eight studio albums have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have delivered hit after hit. From “Yellow” to “The Scientist” to “Fix You” -- “Viva La Vida”, “Paradise”, “A Sky Full of Stars”, “Hymn For The Weekend.” The public’s ears have rarely had a break from Coldplay since their debut in 2000. But despite their continued commercial success, sometime around the release of their fourth record, Viva La Vida, the world’s adoration for Coldplay began to change completely. Each subsequent release saw a decline in record sales, award wins and nominations. Their critic and user scores also began plummeting at about that same time. Nowadays it’s not uncommon for Coldplay fans to hide their adoration for the band -- since being a fan somehow became a bit of a liability. So what happened -- where did they go wrong? And what is it about Coldplay that now makes critics and “real” music fans despise them? Let’s look back on their journey and find out: What Happened to Coldplay? ------------------------------- This video is sponsored by CuriosityStream Written, voiced and edited by Frank Furtado #Middle8 #Coldplay
