What song do you guys think would end up being the Yellow/Clocks/Fix You/Viva La Vida of this album?

 

I don't necessarily mean the best song in the album, just that one song that in the album that everyone recognizes immediately and associates with the album. Just like how every time Parachutes is mentioned, Yellow is also mentioned and etc.

Charlie Brown definitely! :);)

For me it's Hurts Like Heaven. For wide world it's Princess of China. For many Coldplay fans it's Charlie Brown. For Chris it's Every Teardrop. For Jonny, Guy and Will it's Up In Flames. :nod:

For Jonny, Guy and Will it's Up In Flames. :nod:

 

I hope only for them :inquisitive:

I think the album doesn't really have a big obvious anthem.

I dont think there is one tbh

Charloe Brown :awesome:

Paradise :)

Very interesting question.

 

This time the answer is not obvious and that's a good thing.

 

It depends on your taste. It can be CB, HLH, ETIAW or even DLIBYH.

When Charlie Brown gets released as a single....It will be that

 

Just needs exposure

 

Coldplay really f'd up when they chose Paradise over Charlie Brown

hurts like heaven or major minus

I was thinking about this...I don't think this album does have a "big hit." The closest thing is Charlie Brown. I think this is one of the big strengths of the album, really: there's not one stand-out single. They're all great.

For the general public -Coldplay fans, I think Paradise is going to stick in people's heads; a good thing or a bad thing I'll leave up to you to decide. But the big, big song will be Charlie Brown, with Hurts Like Heaven coming in a close second if it's released as a single. (I don't know if HLH will be a single, bits of it just don't seem radio friendly enough even though I love it)

Up in Flames is such a good song! Without a doubt, it should be remembered.

 

I think : Charlie Brown and UATW should be.

Charlie Brown, PoC and HLH will be.

Hurls like Heaven and Charlie Brown!

Viva la Vida = Charlie Brown

Fix you = Up with the Birds

Clocks = Dont let it break your Heart

Yellow = Hurts like Heaven

Viva La Vida = Charlie Brown

Fix You = Up In Flames

Clocks = Paradise

Yellow = Hurts Like Heaven

When/if Charlie Brown gets released as a single, then that'll be it. But I'm starting to get the feeling that it won't be.. :/

 

Do we know for sure if Princess of China is the next single?

"Singles from Mylo Xyloto

 

"Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall"

Released: 3 June 2011

"Paradise"

Released: 12 September 2011

"Princess of China [1]"

Released: 25 October 2011"

that's rather ominous

as far as what gets added to the "classic" set list I can see Charlie Brown and Us Against the World making the cut. Charlie Brown being a rousing crowd pleaser ala Clocks and Viva la Vida while Us Against the World becomes a cell phones in the air moment for years to come.

Princess of China.

Hmm, hard to say. Probably Charlie Brown :)

Up with the birds is clearly the Amsterdam of this era (it's nice there is one :D)

Princess of China, simply because if Rihanna. If she wasn't in that song, it would be Paradise or Charlie Brown.

Viva La Vida > Charlie Brown

Fix You > Up In Flames

Clocks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Paradise

Yellow >>>>> Hurts Like Heaven

 

Unfortunately, this is how it is. And I actually like the album.
