Coldplay Are the First British Band to Simultaneously Top U.S. and U.K. Album Charts Since 2016

Coldplay released their 10th album 'Moon Music' earlier this month and it's the fifth time they've achieved the feat.

Since 2000, a handful of other British groups have done the same including Radiohead, The Beatles, One Direction, Mumford & Sons, Muse and Florence + The Machine. British solo acts have had more success, with Adele, Ed Sheeran, Paul McCartney, Harry Styles, Zayn, David Bowie and Susan Boyle all having done so since 2000. In a statement, Coldplay’s manager Phil Harvey said: “In Moon Music, the band has made one of their very best albums and I’m really happy that it resonated with fans all around the world.
