This year's Super Bowl Halftime Show is set to star Coldplay, also featuring Beyonce and Bruno Mars (and who knows? Maybe another guest or two). As I did last year with Katy Perry, I decided to do a top 10 list for Coldplay. Now, when I first heard they were going to be the featured act, I was a little bored. However, I then realized......I actually like most of their singles. I legit had a tough time narrowing the list down to just a Top 10. So with that being said, here it is.
(All rights to Coldplay/Parlophone,Capitol,Atlantic Records)
10) "Hymn For The Weekend" ft/ Beyonce
Their recent single, this is one of 3 duets on this Top 10. Coldplay have been known for their dynamic guest-star tracks.
9) "Viva La Vida"
One of the better lyrical tracks, this kind of anthemic song are what Coldplay does best
8) "Princess Of China" ft/ Rihanna
At the time, this was seen as a pretty out-there duo, but it really worked out in the end.
7) "Adventures of a Lifetime"
One of their latest singles, this sees Coldplay starting to veer into a dance genre.
6) "Yellow"
From one of Coldplay's latest, to a more classic hit. "Yellow" was one of the first singles that really put Coldplay on the map.
5) "Paradise"
A beat-driven song, this is another example of what Coldplay does well.
4) "Lost" ft/ Jay-Z
A collaboration that maybe a lot don't know about; this "Lost" version with Jay-Z is just astounding.
3)"The Scientist"
This song is quintessential for Coldplay. A well put together ballad.
2) "Fix You"
Perhaps the most moving ballad from Coldplay, this track really hits all the necessary elements, and builds up to a big conclusion.
1) "A Sky Full of Stars"
While you could make the case for "The Scientist" or "Fix You" being the best Coldplay track, I actually think "A Sky Full of Stars" tops them. It has that similar ballad feel of those prior 2 tracks, but also brings in this sort of EDM (Dance) element. Its the best of both worlds.
