#324 Coldplay, 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' (2002)

This is the album that really launched Coldplay into the stratosphere. Their debut record was great, but this, their follow up, really took them to the next level thanks to singles ‘In My Place,’ ‘The Scientist’ and ‘Clocks.’ In 2003/2003, Coldplay was unavoidable. The album went on to win 3 Grammy Awards and a BRIT and is certified 10x platinum in the UK, 4x platinum in the US and 7x Platinum in Australia.
