Welcome to the Coldplay Album Series!
Hello all! It's Adrian C and I've been wanting to host something here for a little while, but had quite a few options on my mind! But then I started digging deep into the Pulse archives and couldn't help but notice that no one has ever hosted an album series for the massively successful British pop rock band Coldplay. They are my favorite band of all time and I thought it'd be fun to host a series of rankdowns for their music! And since they have new music coming soon, it'd be cool to revisit their older work.
As of right now, these guys have seven studio albums with the eighth one on its way. We're basically just going to do rankdowns for each individual album. But the fun doesn't end there because if anyone has ever looked at their discography, they have tons of songs that were not included in their albums, a lot of which were released as B-sides to their singles. There will be bonus rounds for those so that every single Coldplay song is included. I don't want to go through this too fast, so there will probably be short breaks between each round (like a couple weeks or something).
I was thinking we go chronologically, meaning we'll be starting with their debut album Parachutes! This album was released in 2000 and it's pretty much the most rock-sounding album of their career. It peaked at #51 on the US Billboard 200 and hit #1 on the UK Albums Chart. It's been certified 2x Platinum in the US, 9x Platinum in the UK, and was generally liked by critics. It even earned them a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2002.
The album spawned four singles: "Shiver", "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic", with "Yellow" being the only one to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #48.
Tracklist:
1. Don't Panic
2. Shiver
3. Spies
4. Sparks
5. Yellow
6. Trouble
7. Parachutes
8. High Speed
9. We Never Change
10. Everything's Not Lost (with hidden track "Life Is For Living")

Instructions:
1. Rank each song from 1 to 10 based on your opinions (#1 is your favorite, #10 is your least favorite).
2. To submit, send your list to me via PM here (Adrian C. π ) OR those of you who know me on Discord can send it to me through there.
3. It's probably not that big of a deal since it's only ten songs, but please number your rankings anyway.
4. Have fun!

This is absolutely open to anyone, so feel free to take part. As of right now, I'm thinking the deadline will be Saturday, November 23 at 11:30 PM CST. I don't imagine this will take very long since it's only ten songs and a little over 40 minutes of listening, but I'm open to extensions.
