Coldplay on the BBC Radio 1 playist Coldplay's 3rd single from Ghost Stories, True Love has been added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist in the UK for the upcoming week commencing 18th August. Every Coldplay song released as a single has been added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist and very few have failed to make the A-List. The Hardest Part, Strawberry Swing and Life In Technicolor ii were the few which reached only the B-list. Below, you will see the list of Coldplay's recent runs within the Radio 1 playlist since Atlas in 2013. Atlas, taken from The Hunger Games : Catching Fire soundtrack currently holds the all time record for the amount of weeks spent on the B list (8).

'Rude' [A] Foxes 'Glorious' Hot Natured & Ali Love 'Benediction' Eric Prydz 'Liberate' [iNMWT] As expected, A Sky Full of Stars has been Coldplay's biggest hit from Ghost Stories so far on worldwide radio. Will True Love better the 2nd single within the world of the charts? Being a polar opposite to the popular EDM influenced track suggests it won't but the 'unconventional' single may surprise a few. We will see over the coming weeks and the upcoming acrobat inspired official video will have a large say! New ASFOS advert Continuing with the BBC link, the British broadcasters have released a very interesting advert/commercial involving A Sky Full of Stars and Chris Evans (unconvincingly) humming the upbeat song to the puzzled expressions of his colleagues. Mr Jools Holland eventually made sense of it and the BBC dropped a new plug to Coldplay's uplifting anthem. (thanks Black Rose) [video=youtube;3Krin3u-XjM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Krin3u-XjM That's not the only time Mr Evans has been featured on such an ad. The other Chris has previously attempted Trouble on the piano on a BBC Radio 2 advert! [video=youtube;gQhgS8bm5Nk] The other obvious link is Fearne Cotton who interviewed the whole band for the Making of Ghost Stories on Sky Arts in the UK.

Was thinking of this, the premier league finally starts again on Saturday :D A great pre-season for United, hope we start off strongly, I would say again as we beat Swansea 4-1 away on the first game last season but wasn't pretty after a few months!

Rest in Peace :( So tragic.

Very interesting, thanks :)

Formula 1 driver, Jensen Button was mistaken for Chris Martin at London Heathrow airport. Do you see any resemblance? Apparently an American family did.....

New landmark of 45k followers, the big 50 next :P <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>We have now hit 45k followers.

The interviews in one article :) http://www.coldplaying.com/coldplay-recording-next-project-new-tour/ Well, I hope they link up with Limp Bizkit for old times sake but I think Rihanna is more likely!

How was it?

Welcome to the Coldplaying :D :D

I hope the official video is not like Magic, since Jonas Akerlund is the director again, something powerful/emotional would be great!

They have been added now :) :gs: :ghoststories: :mx: :arobtth: :parachutes: :x&y: :viva: :norunning:

Awesome, its one of mine with True Love and Oceans :D Welcome to Coldplaying!

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>True Love, Coldplay's 3rd single from Ghost Stories will be released as a single in September according to the UK upcoming releases schedule</p>— Coldplay News (@coldplaying) <a href="https://twitter.com/coldplaying/statuses/495762207964405761">August 3, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The exact date of the release is unknown but its scheduled for 'September'. It would make sense for it to be released around the iHeart festival show!

That's some dedication there! I really hope you get to go to at least one event :D

Are you lucky enough to go to New York to see the show or just happen to be there? :P Here's the article : http://www.coldplaying.com/chris-martin-streaming-on-live-radio-chris-best-acoustics/

Came across this when I was searching for a particular image :laugh3:

I'll link to the vids on the Coldplaying.com article tonight :)

Its ok, its better to make sure we haven't missed any news, this looks confirmed, Chris will play there on 7th August at Fresh 102.7, thank you for the info and welcome to Coldplaying btw :D

COLDPLAY MULTIMEDIA MONTH - AUGUST! Hello everyone, August is upon us and its the time where the winners of last month's Coldplaying contributor contest are announced. From this month, there will be different contest. As there is a quiet period of Coldplay news and events and the gap between albums and tours seems to be forthcoming (bar September), it is a perfect opportunity to revitalise the Coldplaying multimedia forum, the wonderful download section of Coldplaying that is the reason many of us joined the forums originally! (myself included) We all want to see the multimedia forum bursting with life and that life is for every Coldplayer to complete their rare and live collection or for a new fan to discover Coldplay a complete new level! The goal is to have pretty much the complete Coldplay back catalogue on the forum so we can all make that happen over the coming weeks :) One thing you may have noticed already is I have added different colour tags to the multimedia forum. [Active links] [Dead links] and [Request] for the labelling and organisation of the forum! The moderating team are doing a great job organising everything. The multimedia archives are massive so we have generally labelled everything further than the past year as a dead link for now, the more recent ones are being looked at and labelled accordingly so over time, this will become as accurate as possible. Everyone can be a part of this multimedia revamp so please feel free to go through your folders, old pc's/laptops, anywhere you have anything Coldplay related that is not widely available (remember, the usual no purchasable media etc...). Batman's multimedia thread has been very popular and you can check out the list of media uploaded by Batman so far. Indexes will be made as all of this starts to take shape. The easiest way to spot an older thread or if you want to search for media is to select 'search this forum' on the multimedia section and you can simply search for threads or posts, matching 'jools' for example if you want to see the Jools Holland Coldplay performances. Contributor points and prizes : During August, you will get at least a point for every Coldplay multimedia upload and there is the opportunity to earn even more for Coldplay rares, fan made playlist's/edits, artwork covers, articles about your favourite collections of rare and live tracks and much more. There will be challenges posted over the course of August on the contributor forum so keep an eye out! 1 point for the re-upload of a dead link 1 point for a regular piece of Coldplay multimedia 1 point for a graphic/album cover 1 point for other/miscellaneous Coldplay multimedia 3 points for a fan made Coldplay album which is edited throughout and has a theme (ex : like Car Kids by Hurts Like Heaven, not a mixture of greatest hits) 5 points for writing an article about the highlights of your Coldplay collection, favourite live performances etc.. Prize for 1st place : Member of the Month and a Coldplaying Twitter takeover for one day! *not the actual account but you can post and reply to others, i'll be on hand to do so* 2nd and 3rd place : A set of Ghost Stories buttons Winners of the July contributor competition. Congratulations to Captain Crieff who is the winner of July's Coldplaying contributor and wins a deluxe Target edition copy of Ghost Stories and Member of the month! gai and grids finish 2nd and 3rd place and both win a set of Ghost Stories buttons (another set for gai!) View the final table for July and the hall of fame standings so far!
