Coldplay Gives Good Grief In “Charlie Brown” Video
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Idolator Staff
If new videos from Madonna, Adam Lambert, and M.I.A. weren't quite enough for you on this clip-heavy Friday, then we are sorry you're so picky, but perhaps Coldplay is more your speed. The boys behind Mylo Xyloto may not be the first to spring to mind when you think of a dark club with plenty of fluorescent lights and hanky panky, but that's exactly what they deliver in "Charlie Brown," which manages to depict what looks like an awesome, fun-filled romantic night out and still leave us feeling a little glum in the end (in the best way, most Coldplay-ish way possible). So get your Snoopy dance ready and watch Mr. Paltrow & co. in "Charlie Brown" below.

Mon Jan 30 2012 by Nicole Sia
For better or for worse, UK-based music magazine NME has rolled out its shortlist of nominees for its 2012 NME Awards. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Adele each earned noms across the various irreverent categories — some more forgiving than others.

Thu Jan 19 2012 by Robbie Daw

Kelly Clarkson Covers Coldplay, Carrie Underwood & Cee Lo On Her Stronger Tour
Wed Jan 18 2012 by Becky Bain
Just like Taylor Swift did on her Speak Now tour, Kelly Clarkson is incorporating different covers in each one of her stops as she travels the country on her Stronger tour. Though Swift's picks were decided upon the city she was in, Kelly is leaving it up to her fans. And her fans have good taste: while in Albany, New York, Clarkson delivered a wonderful cover of Coldplay's weepy "Fix You", and a few days prior at Foxwoods in Connecticut, she put her spin on Carrie Underwood's "I Know You Won't" and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You". Watch her performances below — and make sure to tell us which song you think Kelly should cover next.

Mon Dec 26 2011 by Robbie Daw
This week Billboard published its final charts dated in the 2011 calendar year. All in all, there were 31 LPs that rose to #1 on the Top 200 in 2011, several of which we highlighted in both our Summer and Fall Music Previews. We dissected the 13 chart-toppers from the first half of the year back in late June. (Adele’s 21 still ruled when all was said and done, with over 5 million copies sold by the end of December.) Now flip through the gallery of the 18 albums that triumphed from July on! More »
Coldplay Dazzle In Cologne (PHOTOS)
Fri Dec 16 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Coldplay put on a breathtaking show last night, as the band brought their Mylo Xoloto tour to Cologne, Germany. (BRIT Awards’ Critics Choice recipient Emeli Sande opened the night with a “Heaven“-ly performance.) The group certainly lived up to their Billboard Reader’s Poll title of Best Festival Performers: The stage was decked out in giant balloons, laser lights and massive amounts of confetti that rained onto the Köln Lanxess-Arena stage during “In My Place”. The encore included “Clocks”, a cover of Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” (it is the holidays after all) and, for the grand finale, “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall“. Is this a taste of what we can expect from their 2012 North American tour? More »
Lady Gaga Most Overrated, Madonna Most Anticipated: ‘Billboard’ Readers Poll
Fri Dec 16 2011 by Robbie Daw
Out with the new and in with the, er, mature? Billboard turned the usual year-end list mania over to its readers via polls that asked them to have their say in such categories as Best Awards Show Performance (the winners: Rihanna and Britney Spears at the Billboard Music Awards), Best Festival Performance (Coldplay at Glastonbury), Hottest Couple (Jay-Z and Beyonce) and Biggest Controversy (Amy Winehouse's death). But the real eyebrow-raiser is the Most Overrated label being slapped on Lady Gaga.
