Coldplay videography

British rock band Coldplay have released 75 music videos,^[a] 5 video albums and 6 films,^[b] appearing in a wide range of television shows throughout their career as well. They were formed in London by Chris Martin (vocals, piano), Jonny Buckland (lead guitar), Guy Berryman (bass guitar), Will Champion (drums, percussion) and Phil Harvey (management).^[2] Before their recording contract with Parlophone in 1999,^[3] a music video for "Bigger Stronger" was shot and directed by Mat Whitecross, who ultimately became one of the long-time collaborators of the band.^[4] It was followed by the singles "Shiver", "Yellow", "Trouble" and "Don't Panic" from Parachutes (2000), with the third earning a MTV Video Music Award for Best Art Direction.^[5]

To promote A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), Coldplay made "In My Place" and "The Scientist" available. The latter won three MTV Video Music Awards and ran for Best Short Form Music Video at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards.^[6] Publicity affairs were completed in the following year with "Clocks", "God Put a Smile upon Your Face" and Live 2003, their first video album. Released in 2005, X&Y spawned "Speed of Sound", "Fix You", "Talk" and "The Hardest Part". They were succeeded by "Violet Hill", which came out in anticipation for Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008).

The band later shot two different versions of "Viva la Vida", one where they are performing the track and the other referencing Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence". Additional music videos encompassed "Lovers in Japan", "Lost!", "Life in Technicolor II" and "Strawberry Swing", which received three UK Music Video Awards. In 2010, Coldplay launched "Christmas Lights" as a holiday single,^[7] while the subsequent year saw Whitecross directing "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall", "Paradise" and "Charlie Brown" for Mylo Xyloto (2011). The record featured "Princess of China" and "Hurts Like Heaven" as well, having its promotion concluded by Live 2012. Two years later, Ghost Stories (2014) was made available with five music videos: "Midnight", "Magic", "A Sky Full of Stars", "True Love" and "Ink". The marketing campaign wrapped in November with its namesake live album.^[8]

In 2015, Coldplay released "Adventure of a Lifetime" as the lead single for A Head Full of Dreams, following it with the visuals for "Birds", "Hymn for the Weekend", "Up&Up", "A Head Full of Dreams" and "Everglow" over the succeeding year. Moreover, the band got two D&AD Awards and two silver prizes at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for the third.^[9] They later launched The Butterfly Package (2018), a set containing their fifth live (Live in Buenos Aires) and video (Live in São Paulo) albums plus a documentary directed by Whitecross. Everyday Life (2019) brought six music videos, including "Orphans", "Daddy", "Everyday Life" and "Champion of the World". Coldplay performed the full album at the Amman Citadel and transmitted the concert on YouTube as well. Between 2021 and 2022, Dave Meyers directed "Higher Power", "My Universe" and "Let Somebody Go" for Music of the Spheres, which later received three more clips and a film. "Feelslikeimfallinginlove", "We Pray", "The Karate Kid" and "All My Love" supported Moon Music (2024).
