Just got an idea: how about no singles, just release the album then do some promo and tv performances. And after 6 or 9 months, release an EP that can be bundled for a deluxe edition (like VLV)

March 2013 was all about charity and that shouldn’t be a surprise to you since Coldplay is known to be one of the most charitable music acts in the world. They first partnered with Oxfam and gave them an acoustic recording of their classic hit In My Place and encouraged fans worldwide to take part of the video. This campaign was to fight land grabs. The film was directed by renowned director Mat Whitecross who is also behind some of the most iconic Coldplay videos. You can watch the film here [ame= ] [/ame] Then, band pianist, lead vocal and ultimate cutie, Chris Martin joined the #LHandSign Lupus Awareness Campaign. If you want to check them out, here is their Facebook page and twitter handle https://www.facebook.com/runningforlupus http://twitter.com/runningforlupus They also worked with For Wildlife to help fight against rhinoceros poaching. The organization used Coldplay’s flawless song Til Kingdom Come to soundtrack their campaign. [ame= ] [/ame] They also raised awareness for Down Syndrome http://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/ They helped Drop 4 Drop provide clean water for all. A cause dear to Chris Martin. Please check out their website http://www.drop4drop.org/ Guy Berryman, the band bassist and extraordinarily handsome man, helped advertise the book Love Music Love Book to raise funds for Teenage Cancer http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/ You can still buy the book http://www.lovemusiclovefood.org/ The band also auctioned the guitar that Chris Martin used during the MX Tour to perform the amazing song God Put A Smile Upon Your Face to raise funds for the Hurricane Sandy Relief. Chris also performed at the Hurricane Sandy Relief Concert that took place back in December 2012. [ame= ] [/ame] The band finally lent a helping hand to Fierce Panda Recordings (who gave Coldplay their big break) so they can raise funds for their upcoming documentary. “The story of much-loved indie label Fierce Panda Recordings will be told in a new movie released via PledgeMusic. Created by Document Films, ‘Endangered: The Story Of Fierce Panda Records’, will be released in February 2014 to tie in with the 20th birthday celebrations of the label. A soundtrack album condensing the best of over 250 Fierce Panda single releases will accompany the film, whilst a retrospective book is also being mulled over.” Releases: COVER-UP, the second issue of the critically acclaimed comic series Mylo Xyloto by Coldplay and Bongo Comics was released. Another event related to the band that happened this month was the speaking gig of Coldplay’s former manager Estelle Wilkinson at the London Welsh Centre, as part of the “Creative Cardiff – An evening looking at the Cardiff music scene”. Estelle supposedly talked about managing the band for 6 years. Recapping this month made me love Coldplay even more (I thought that wasn't possible). They are talented, down to earth and very generous both with their time and with their money. I hope they've inspired you to think about the less fortunate and give back.

Not a lot of people are volunteering for this so I'll do March (my birthday month) When should I have it ready by? Edit: December 21st. Sounds good :)

With the worldwide success of 'BEYONCE', should Coldplay just go ahead and release LP6 in its entirety? Coldplay are huge album sellers and they don't usually sell many singles. I think they should but unlike Beyoncé, they should give us a release date. They won't be the first band to do so either, My Bloody Valentine and Radiohead have done it before. And people will judge the album without being bias by the singles.

Favorite songs: 1. Atlas by Coldplay 2. Demons by The National 3. Heavenfaced by The National 4. Slipped by The National 5. I Need My Girl by The National 6. Get Lucky by Daft Punk 7. Touch by Daft Punk 8. Legendary Lovers by Katy Perry 9. Adore You by Miley Cyrus 10. Elastic Heart by SIA and The Weeknd 11. On The Run (Part 2) by Jay Z 12. Lean by The National 13. I Am A God by Kanye West (feat. God) 14. Mirrors by Justin Timberlake 15. Counting Stars by One Republic 15. Shot At The Night by The Killers

UGH, BEYONCÉ isn't eligible (hands down my favorite album this year) oh well. Here are my top5: 1. Trouble Will Find Me by The National 2. The 20/20 Experience by Justin Timberlake 3. AM by The Arctic Monkeys 4. Yeezus by Kanye West 5. Prism by Katy Perry

Congrats. It deserves to win too but they might give it to U2

I think Live 2012 has a pretty good chance to win. Skyfall is a very average song. If it wasn't sung by Adele, we would never hear it. It doesnt even deserve that Oscar and the song has nothing to do with the movie besides the title.

Hmm I guess thank you for the free promo Avicii but me not likey.

This soundtrack is amazing. I can't stop listening to it. My favorites so far are Atlas (DUH) Elastic Heart (DUH), Lean (I wasn't a big fan of The National before but Im thinking about checking out their last album because this song had me DEAD), Angel On Fire (Im obsessed with this song, the strings and the vocals are insaaaaaane), Silhouettes and many more. 10/10 Im so happy and proud that Coldplay was part of this project.

Once again, Celine and Ellen WOOOHOOOOO so freaking happy this happened to you two. You deserved it.

Congrats Ellen & Celine. You deserve it. Im super happy for you. Best day ever!!!!!

What an honor!!!! Given that most people are tonedeaf, this is a huge honor

Thanks guys. But why did he mess up? I won't tolerate this anymore :D

ugh looks like Chris didn't even walk the Red Carpet

I thought the show would be on from 9 to 11pm PST but according to twitter, they are already handing out awards. Also do you guys have the link for the live stream? I can't find it anymore

Finally a commercial I will not mute or fast forward LOL

YES YES YES YES YES. Can't wait for Monday

HAHAHA
