The album is now on subscription-only services such as Apple Music, Amazon Prime and Tidal (Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is one of Tidal’s many superstar backers), as well as MTV Trax and O2 Tracks. If you really want the album, maybe you’ll just have to go down to your local store to buy it!

Eagle-eyed fans were alerted to the possibility of a new album last month, when a pattern that Martin had worn on a T-shirt at an event in Global Citizen Festival in NY in September appeared on social media.
It was also announced on the band’s website that they were to play a free show in Paris for their French fans on 9 December, weeks after the attacks in the city that left 130 dead, including many at the Bataclan theatre where the Eagles of Death Metal were performing. The iHeartRadio Album Release Party with Coldplay video streamed exclusively on Yahoo and streamed across all iHeartMedia station websites as well as iHeartRadio.com, with a 30-minute on-air special broadcast on iHeartMedia radio stations.
Coldplay’s new album, out on Friday, was made with the producers behind pop hits including Rihanna’s Rude Boy, Katy Perry’s Firework and Beyonce’s Irreplaceable.
Highlight “Up & Up” has equally huge guest stars-vocals from Merry Clayton and guitars from Noel Gallagher-though their contributions are barely discernible between the mincing orchestral samples, clattering ice-drop rhythms and burbling electronic touches.
A Head Full Of Dreams has been produced by Norwegian duo Stargate, consisting Of Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen, alongside the band’s long-time collaborator Rik Simpson.
