In the early 2010s Coldplay was outselling Green Day and Foo Fighters (who debuted years before them btw) combined first week in the U.S now they are doing the same numbers/less. Coldplay have always been more global so not surprising they did more worldwide but those numbers are still terrible for them and also propped up thanks to their great uk sales. Even then: First week sales outside the US+UK Medicine At Midnight - 95k Everyday Life - 83k The decline is real. 12k sales ahead when EL was Coldplay's least promoted and most experimental album while Foo Fighters themselves said MAM was more pop, which should attract more casual listeners. Right now it is Medicine's 18/19th week after release and it sold 4,000 copies, Everyday Life did twice the units in the same time frame. The decline is real because they have +20 years of career and not that they lost fans, hence why AHFOD Tour is the 5th biggest tour ever in spite of being their most pop-oriented era.

Oh please, Foo Fighters’ “pop album” is only pop for their standards, it was never going to or meant to cross over to pop like Coldplay’s were. Coldplay’s name alone should’ve guaranteed more than 48k for an album, period. And compare Everyday Life to other albums released 20 years into their careers by Foo Fighters, Radiohead, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, AC/DC and tons of other rock bands in and you will see they all had much bigger first week sales in the U.S and charted higher on the Billboard YEC. AHFOD’s tour gross is mainly because of their overall career not current standing and that was before Everyday Life. It is clear that Coldplay alienated their fanbase and that’s why their sales in the U.S and many countries outside the UK are so bad now. Denying this is just Stay delusional.

U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metalicca and AC/DC all had their 20th year of career during the physical era, do you expected Coldplay to pull off +400k pure copies in one of their weakest markets, with their least promoted album, in 2019? Those are not even their contemporaries Radiohead had The King of Limbs on their 20th year of career (2011-2012), it debuted with 69,000 units. The industry was going downhill but it still was a far more positive scenario for rock bands, so it bombed as much as Everyday Life in the US and the situation is even worse outside. As for Foo Fighters, they had Sonic Highways (2014-2015), it was more successful everywhere so kudos to them! But while that album enjoyed six singles and nearly two years of promotion, Coldplay only had "Orphans" and five months of marketing. Totals? 1.9M in three years for SH vs. 1.3M in a year and a half for EL. Feel free to say Coldplay are past their prime, they are, but saying they lost their fans? 740k pure units is more than what some pop acts sold last year Edited June 13, 2021 by gustavothehuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are not even their contemporaries I don’t expect 400k but I expect more than 48k. All of those artists had albums with higher debuts than 48k during the streaming era, AC/DC doubled that a few months ago and I’m aware about the sales decline which is why I also mentioned Billboard Year End Charts where again, they all did better than Coldplay 20 years into their careers. Everyday Life had a full Billboard year but still didn’t even make the Top 200 YEC And you keep saying weakest market as if Coldplay weren’t smashing in album sales in the U.S before that album Quote Radiohead had The King of Limbs on their 20th year of career (2011-2012), it debuted with 69,000 units. The industry was going downhill but it still was a far more positive scenario for rock bands, so it bombed as much as Everyday Life in the US and the situation is even worse outside. I was referring to A Moon Shaped Pool, King of Limbs had a strange release, that 69k is from the retail release after it was already available to download for 2 months, it did another 67k in its 2nd week and charted #135 on the Billboard YEC so even that was still bigger than Everyday Life in the U.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Horrible numbers for M5, but kinda expected, except it's worse than I imagined. This era has been handled so messy, and they've been testing it with no big sucess besides "Memories". BM is a decent hit, but it proved that it looks Pop radio has kinda moved on from them, sure they have support, but they're not as "cool" as they suppposed to be, which is expected with so many years in the business. Megan actually had very to do with BM being a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s why they’re still doing great. Everyday Life wasn't a pop album either, critics labeled it as their most experimental to date. Only 32% of Coldplay's discography sales come from the US, so the lack of promo definitely did a huge damage there, the marketing was done with letters and newspapers, lol. I just think it's delusional saying they lost fans when the era was planned to be as small as possible and still sold more pure units than some of last year's major releases. It also outsold A Moon Shaped Pool in total worldwide units if we're going to be petty here, but the truth is that I don't really care about Radiohead, I only mentioned them because of the other person. Where should start and what's their best album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
