    Coldplay lose out at the BRIT Awards 2015

    Coldplay lose out at the BRIT Awards 2015

    It wasn't to be Coldplay's night at this year's BRIT Awards, as British rock duo, Royal Blood surprisingly pipped their fellow countrymen to the award for 'Best Group'.

     

    The Mylo Xyloto era of 3-4 years ago proved to be a fruitful time in Coldplay's rich BRIT Award's history. The often understated Ghost Stories album of 2014 has not received as much commercial acclaim as it's predecessor but the band will be hoping for bigger and better things when A Head Full Of Dreams, their upcoming seventh album makes a mark.

     

    Coldplay remain the second most successful band/artist at the BRIT Awards. They are tied with boyband, Take That and singer, Annie Lennox with 8 awards, while ex-Take That man, Robbie Williams holds the all time record of 12 awards. Here's a breakdown of Coldplay's trophy haul at the BRITs:

     

    2013 - 'Best Live Act'

     

    2012 - 'Best British Group'

     

    2006 - 'British Album of the Year' for X&Y, 'Best British Single' for Speed Of Sound

     

    2003 - 'Best British Group', 'Best British Album' for A Rush Of Blood To The Head

     

    2001 - 'Best British Group', 'Best British Album' for Parachutes

     

     

    Royal Blood's award win was certainly a surprise for many as One Direction were favourites to win. Their win has been received with a great deal of critical acclaim and it seems to have gone down well enough on the Coldplaying forums as a second choice winner after Coldplay! Our favourite band won the 'Best Group' award in 2001, as a relatively new band and now the rockers from Brighton have been given a major boost in their rising career. Royal Blood's debut album in 2014, self titled, went straight to #1 on the album charts. You can watch their performance of Figure It Out from last night:

    In other news, Paul Epworth, who produced Coldplay's Ghost Stories won producer of the year. Foo Fighters, who are headlining Glastonbury (We are waiting on Coldplay news for Glasto 2015 still), won Best International Group and performance wise, Madonna meanwhile, has made all the headlines for falling off the stage!
